When I said the HD is working fine under Windows, I mean that the HD after formated in NTFS is ok.

I have tried to reproduce as clser as possible the reformatting procedure shown above and seams to get the same error. The HD seams to be formatted but still error during opening Empeg from Emplode tool.

Is it interresting for you to have the error message output from the Haperterminal ? Because inside it says something about the mounting HD.
