You're having the exact same problem, ehh?
I'm going to check the easy things first, then I'll proceed to give you a list of steps.
Do you have USB 2.0 on the computer you are trying to use this drive with?
And are you on XP? Drives being not initialized is normal, but it's kind of a weird process to get them going in XP.
If you are on XP, go to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Computer Management / Disk Management
Click on the small section that says "Unknown" or "Not Initialized".
Right click and select "Initialize Disk" then right click on the right
portion of the next window and select "New Partition" to start the New
Partition Wizard. Format the drive as you ususally would. If you need help formatting the drive, PM back here.
