hi, i've replaced my superdrive with a caddy and installed a 1tb drive that is not SSD. it shows up on the desktop and everything seems fine until i try to use it.

when first installed, i tried to change the name but got this message...

when i first bought the drive and stuck it in the machine, i was told i needed to initialise it when i booted up. couldn't do anything with disk utilities so took it out, formatted as fat 32 in my pc then stuck it back in. same problem. then i took it out again, wiped using another mac and formatted as mac osx. now i'm in the current situation as described above. searched all over google and can't find any answers.

any ideas anyone? thanks in advance
