Hello all, Today I bought the 4tb “My Passport” from Best Buy. I came home to set it up and backup my computer (a 2015 MacBook Pro running El Capitan 10.11.6) Before I did anything to it, I read through the user’s guide and saw that I needed to format it to use with my MacBook.

So, I followed the steps- I went into Disk Utility, selected “My Passport,” clicked “erase,” selected “OS X Extended (Journaled)” as the format, and clicked “erase” once again. After working for a moment, it told me that the operation had failed because “MediaKit reports not enough space on drive”. I FIND ALL THIS LAUGHABLE.

I signed in here just to vent about exactly this. Every time I buy a hard drive it’s a gong show. So, my seagate falls off my table tonight- toast. I buy this my passport -seems tougher. Of course -Cant get it to format.

I am totally pissed.
