I didn't attach the hard drive as an internal. It's still an external drive. I don't have any IDE cords, so I have to go to a computer/electronic store. I'm just want to use it as an data holder. I'm not going to call hackintosh on it since I don't have any programs for OSX and thats an interweb project for another day. but I still need help with the drive. It's been doing this to me even before I reformatted the drive. It won't mount. Please help.
