Title: for PC and Mac?
Post by: aceedcee on May 25, 2012, 09:28:34 AM

I have a Mac OS 10.5.8

my HD is Drivestation HD-LBU3

It's supposed to be plug and play but when I plugged it, the HD was READ ONLY..

so I opened the Manual folder and followed the instructions for Mac OS 10.5..

This was successfull cause now my HD is READ and WRITE..

 

PROBLEM:

I connected my HD to a PC and it cannot be detected!

what is wrong?

You need to format the HDD to fat, you can do this in disk utility on your mac.
