Iomega Utility are not Specific to the current device.

My iomega ego external hard disk was working properly but when i connected it today the encryption utility show that-Iomega Utility are not Specific to the current device and no any area shown to type password. My drive contains lots of valuable data. How can I acess into my drive. But the virtual drive is shown.

try to change the format of the portable hard drive, i believe you have it under ExFat, and a usb is Fat32 these options are under any windows platform, connect your device, right click and select FORMAT, here change it from ExFat to either Fat32 or NTFS, the difference between the 2 is simple, Fat32 is more compatible to devices, like car stereos, tvs, etc, but it has a limit of uploading a single file up to 3gb were NTFS doesn't have a limit but not many devices support it. Formatting your drive to another one requieres all media to be deleted, and when your formatting, never forget to select "QUICK FORMAT"

hope this helps!!

Try to use the built in Windows formatter for this application. Right click the drive in explorer, and select "format..." It should be self explanatory for this.

It's possible to clone to this drive, but over the USB interface, it will be very slow. Firewire would be faster. It's also possible to boot from it, but again, it will be slower than an internal. What you've described, however, IS possible.

Yes, because it is a Plug-and-Play device, and because Windows supports Plug-and-Play.

Mac decided not to go with USB 3.0 so you will have to use the USB 2.0 Y cable.
Using the USB Y cable. Plug the cable into the device first, then make sure to plug both USB's in to the computer starting with the short side USB then the longer side USB second. Also try using the USB's on the back side of the computer.
Formatting with Mac OS X, version 10.5 or above. 1. Make sure you have copied any needed files to another location. 2. Select Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility 3. In the left hand column, click on the drive icon for the Iomega Hard Drive. Make sure you click on the high level icon, not the second level volume icon. 4. Select the Partition tab. 5. Change Volume Scheme from Current to 1 Partition. 6. Select the format type from the Format drop-down menu. Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (recommended) or Mac OS Extended. 7. Click on the Options button. 8. Select the type of partition you want to use: GUID Partition Table - for boot ability on Intel-based Macs Apple Partition Map - for boot ability on PowerPC-based Macs Master Boot Record - if you will use the drive on a PC as well as your Mac. Use this option ONLY if you selected PC-DOS as the format type. CAUTION! In most cases, the computer will fail to format the drive as a Mac OS Extended (HFS+) partition using Master Boot Record. For best results, always choose GUID Partition Table (Intel) or Apple Partition Map (PowerPC). 9. Click OK. 10. Click Apply (10.5-10.6) or Partition (10.4). The drive is ready to use when the format completes.

True. It requires more power, and hence to USB terminals.

Hope this helps.
