Before the drive can be used it must be initialized, partitioned and
formatted. This can be done with Windows XP's disk management utility. There
is no need to use any other utility as another poster suggests.

Instructions can be found @
http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/di...disk_mgmt.html

(note: while the instructions there refer to an internal drive the procedure
is exactly the same for a USB drive)
