When I get into the disk manager.. I can see that my computer is reading it... but it says that it is a foreign disk and that it is not initialized ( i translated it from french.. it probably sounds like that in english..!) When I try to initialize it... an error message appear which says that "the peripheral is not ready" (once again.. translated from french)... my usb drivers are updated..and my jumper is set to master but i tried it also in slave
