This was one I put in myself, not sure why it formatted that way, but I fixed it more or less. I hate dealing with that kind of thing, it should be easy (in winders).

I bought one from newegg.com a coupla weeks ago for $90, free shipping
no tax, and it took 3 min sitting at the computer, no gas, no hassle.
I did discover that formatting it to get it recognizable by winders
involved some obscure process, but once I did that it worked fine.  I
also discovered that my main drive, 250GB, was initially formatted
with only one partition at 125GB, so turning the other 125GB into a
second logical drive saved the need for the 1TB drive, but now I have
things double-backed up.
