I am trying to setup a new external drive. When I go under disk management, It shows as disk 2 and under it says unknown. when I right click on the unallocated space and try to select New Simple volume, it is grayed out. In fact, all the options are grayed out except for properties and help. Speaking of help, this is what I need. Please help.
Trouble pattitioning and formatting external hard drive
- Thread starter dpriest
- Start date
I couldn't format it because everything was grayed out. I opened Acronis True Image, and in 2 minutes, I was able to initialize the drive. Too bad I can't even rely on Windows 7 to do this. Makes me appreciate my Mac that much more!
