[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1603916, member: 46727"] OK, that makes sense. Assuming the caddy is OK and the drive is OK, try removing it and place it in your other Mac. Using Disk Utility in the other Mac, wipe the drive - in other words, erase it completely, and then erase it again by writing 1's and 0's. Use the secure erase feature of Disk Utility but only allow it to do one pass. After that, remove the drive and place it in the caddy again. Try once more to initialize it using Disk Utility. Let's see if that works. [/QUOTE]
