Help: I just picked up a 100 Gb USP drive and for the life of me I can't get it to format beyond about 2 GB on the primary drive. It has a cable with one end having a single USB connection and the other end has a double connection.... Would I have to plug in the duel ended side into the PC using to ports and the other end into the external drive? Really just to overwhelmed and tire to give a rats a$$ at the moments so just a quick and dirty answer would suffice. J. James M.
