...149270 is not fit for purpose? First it has upto 250GB in the title so I also bought a 250GB HDD. It has upto 400GB on the box so I could have bought the 320GB I really wanted. However that would have been an extra waste of money. Does anyone have any idea how to configure this junk as ebuyer have my money and no longer want to know about the wrong instructions supplied. I have formatted the drive to both NTFS and FAT32 both in 232GB partitions and also FAT32 in 32GB partitions. I have tried it on both XP Pro and Vista. Any other ideas? Also could anyone please advise on a decent external enclosure that is SATA that will accept a 250GB drive formatted to 232GB NTFS and can use both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ?
The drive when formatting is plugged direct to Motherboard and then placed in Caddy once formatted.

If you are able to format it then your operating system recognises it.
If you using a mac you will have to format to zfs.
If you are using windows you will have to format to NTFS. If you are partitioning to install and operating system, you will have to partition at least 20GIG to NTFS.
Click my computer then you should be able to double click on the device in hard disks section. You then just drag and drop to store stuff onto it.

I have just bought a 250 GIG external hard drive. It's a FUJITSU Model number MMF2250UB. It compatible with low powered laptops and PC'c windows 200/ XP/Vista and mac OS X.
You just plug in and your away. It even has a little USB power lead for extra power.
