hi klubad
please show us your partition details. do this by following what is described in the other posts:
To test, how and where your partitions got created, you can use fdisk:
fdisk -l -u
you only write that you formated the drive, who has created the partition on it? you or during manufacturing?
my guess is, that if you created the partition, you have to go over and follow the instructions here. If the partitioning was made during manufacturing you should be fine.
but thats a quess, please check AND POST your partition table, so we can provide correct instructions for newer My Book Essential drives.
