No My Book Live found - OS X

I try to install my new My Book Live 2 Tb but the setup cannot find it. I will only get a message “No My Book Live found”. All the lights are correct. I tried the setup with my girlfriend’s PC and worked fine, so the drive is not broken.

I use iMac 2008 with OS 10.6.8.

I can find the drive through Finder where under “Shared” I can get into files like “Public”, “SmartWare” and “TimeMachineBackup”.

Anyone idea what might be the problem?

Hi, what do you mean exactly by setup? You might want to check the link below for the steps to map the My Book live manually.
