Right Click on your new drive in the Computer
Choose
a File System (NTFS is ideal most cases) and give the new volume a name
if you choose. You might like to call it something like "Portable
Drive," or "Removeable Drive." If not, just take the defaults and click
"OK."
You
will get one last warning that you are about to format your drive and
erase all data. Click OK to proceed. When you see the process has
reached 100%, you are done and you're new external hard drive is ready
to use!
we want to format in FAT32 not nfts.
Just an FYI. DOS only and windows only recognises up to 2 gig partition. This link will help with the rest http://www.pctechguide.com/hard-disks/fi...

Windows built-in Disk Mangement cannot format a drive larger than 32 GB, you need to use third party tool to format your 1 TB drive to FAT32. http://www.disk-partition.com/help/format-partition.html
You can make a 160-200GB partition and format that as a FAT32. You can even make 5 or more partitions of that size and format them all as FAT32, but to format the entire 1TB as a single partition, you must use NTFS or Linex
I purchased slim II 3.0 and copied my music to it from my Mac Pro. When I connect the USB to my 2014 truck it does not recognize the USB. Is there something I need to do to correct this. My other external drive work and shows up but not this one
