Hi Guys,

I have a Newer Technology 300gb External Drive. Up Until I installed Leopard it was fine. Keep in mind I was previously using it on Windows. (Sorry)

I went to Disk Utility and tried to reformat, it hangs at Creating a Partition and says "Disk Failed, input/output error"...

It actually worked for a few minutes w. leopard and allowed me to copy over my iTunes Stuff and Photos (Thank God) - But When I went to Activate Time Machine the drive would not recognize, and haven't been able to get it working Since monday.

Any Ideas?
