[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1608985, member: 175845"] Are you sure that the new HDD is not showing in DU when its connected and turned On? You may not see its name you formatted it with your Windows machine, but it should show as something like [B]1 TB WD10S12X[/B] or [B]1 TB OEM[/B]. Only possible if you enable Fast User Switching, and switch from on user to another with the other user still using some apps or stuff that may be running in the background. If you logout from one and login to another user, that cannot happen. PS: Are you sure you have connected that new drive to your Mac properly, and it doesn't sound like anything is wrong with that drive from what you have described lately. [/QUOTE]
