external hard drive
I attempted to use a SAMSUNG SP2514N Media external hard drive, my computer would not read this drive, it gives me options,
(1.) initialize (2.) ignore (3.) eject when I choose initialize it takes me to disk utility, from their I verify, and it reads as unrecognized filesystem. when i chose info. it tells me I have a samsung SP2514N Media, usb device tree /pc10/ehc1@1d,7/@3:0 writable- yes / total capacity 232.0 GB / S.M.A.R.T. Status: not supported. I'm wondering if I can initialize and use this external hard drive, if i can how do it initialize step by step. any ideas out there.
