[QUOTE="PeterSG, post: 1460970, member: 275331"] ~~~~~ Thanks for your assistance with this problem. The LaCie 500 GB drive I have used for the past two years had been working just well as it came with its pre-formatting. The Seagate Backup Plus 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive for Mac that I bought one month ago also came pre-formatted for Time Machine. With each drive, I just plugged them in and started using Time Machine. I have been using Time Machine on each drive and they operate exactly the same. I don't know if these drives are formatted correctly, but I trusted that they were. [/QUOTE]
