Hi Jim.You'll need to find a partitioning software that's compatible i.e that can partition drives larger than 2TB. Please could you drop me a note off list so i can help further?
mobeeniqbal@xxxxxxxxx is where you'll find me and we can get the thing up and running. Mo. On 30/12/2012 19:09, Jim McAuslan wrote:

You also have to make sure your enclosure supports drives that are more than 2TB in size. Finally, you have to make sure that your drivers are up to date so they recognise external drives that are more than 2TB in size.all the best, Mo.

Could you explain a bit further about the partitioning software? Is this available through W7? Will I be able to format the disk while its in the enclosure?Also, as far as I know the drivers are the latest. Many thanks. Jim
