Brand new 1.5TB Extension not recognised - cannot "initialise"
I'm posting this out of the extended external hard drive recognition thread because my problem is slightly different.
Windows detects my external HDD but doesn't show up in My Computer. Drive is detected in Disk Management, described as "not initialized". When I try to initialize the drive though, it gives me the following error:
"The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error".
I'm running windows 7 on a sony vaio laptop. Also, I tried the drive on another laptop, and it works perfectly.

Literally pulling my hair out over this (seriously its gross, my office desk is covered in hair), so ANY and ALL advice is greatly appreciated!!
