Thanks for responding,
I tried deleting part ion and it gave me an error ,
Called seagate and asked them, if this was pre owned since i paid for a new on one on Amazon, the serial number came up not purchased previously, But the fact that it had a partition, was suspect.
I've never had a drive that even after erasing would hold on to partition, could it be the way I've connected it via Universal Drive connector?
I tried delete partition and create new one it fails and still keep partition I deleted.
Something shows up as FPI not being a pc user, i do not know, maybe some sorta corrupt file, Im gonna return this drive and pray mine hangs on till then..
Thanks again
