Hi Steven,

I have the latest USB drivers and I updated the kernl to 14.103a_w4.

I can access the drive if I format it as NTFS. It is only when formatted
as FAT32 that I get the error message: "Not properly formatted."

I did a DFSEE wipe and recreated a new partition, but still no luck. I
wonder if there is something proprietary about this drive, a Maxtor, as
compared to the 80 GB Western Digital USB drive?

Sandy
