Formatting Maxtor One Touch

[SidewinderX]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if there will be an dire consequences if I format my Maxtor One Touch drive and don't reinstall the Maxtor software?

No experience with this, so YMMV, but it should'nt be necessary to have the OneTouch software installed. It's a harddrive in an enclosure. So you're good to go.

the software is only needed for teh backup function, you can format the drive any way you want including windows format utitlity and it will still function just fine.
