If you will, pls be aware that out of the box it is unformated. You
should run an utility from the drive to format it. There are two
options of how to do this: create one partition (Windows) or two
partitions (Windows/UNIX). Choose Windows only. In a minute you'll have
HDD formated but it will be so called GPT format
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table). It supported by
Win 7, Vista, XP64 but not supported by Touch. Run disk management tool
and convert GPT to NTFS (quick format). Another 30 seconds and the HDD
is ready to use with Touch. May sounds a bit complicated but not a big
problem indeed.

Cheers now.
Mike.
