I have an eSATA drive that was formatted on Windows using Bootcamp. It is connected via an Express Card. I want to now format it for OSX. But when I boot to OSX I don't even see the drive. Is there something I have to do to enable the Express Card?
 
So when you run Disk Utility (either via an OS X HD boot or DVD boot), you're not seeing the eSATA drive show up in the list of devices at all?
 
Did you install a driver for the express card eSATA adapter? If not that is probably why you can't see the drive.

edit: Oh never mind someone got to it before me
 
What brand and model of ExpressCard is it? It is possible that you need to download OS X drivers for it.
That is probably the problem. It is by APIOTEK. I will get onto their web site and see if there is a MAC driver.
