I just got a passport 750gig external drive… and it’s not like previous passport drives because it appears to be wanting to install some software in order to work… I don’t want, and shouldn’t need to do this because I just simply want a hard drive that connects via USB
So, HOW do I make this into a standard hard drive that I simply plug in, Windows recognizes it like all other hard drives,. and I start using it?
If I can’t find a way to do this, then I will return it… buy a new laptop hard drive and a 2.5 hard drive enclosure… and make my own small portable hard drive.
But, since I already have the passport… can it be made to be just a hard drive with no special software needed to use it???
