    I worded my last post wrong, I created a partition, then I reformatted it, EASEUS said that was successfull, but I still get the 'needs to be formatted error' and if you look at the screenshot I posted it says its not formatted.....

      When I first got the drive it wouldn't work until I formatted it to FAT32....
