The disk manager wasn't showing the drive, I presume because it was not formatted. However...it was in the bottom half which was showing up as Disk 1. Didn't say anything about RAW, and right clicking didn't come up with anything about formatting like it shows on all the other drives. However...it did come up with something with 2 options...one of the GPT?....i chose the other one, and now i have the drive with a partition...2048.00 and 1678.02 ...both unallocated. Right clicking on the 1678 only had Properties and help thats selectale. The 2048 now has an extra New Simple Volume? I assume thats creating yet another partition? Clicking over on the left where is has basic info about the drive...it has an extra Convert to GPT disk or Offline. I wasn't going to put an O/S on this drive...just want to use it for file storage just like the externals (which were just plugnplay), so does it really need a partition?
