I always get an error though telling me it's being accessed by a program when it isn't. Nothing was running in the background for it and nothing was being transferred to it.

I'm debating taking this thing back later today if I can't get it working... But 500gig my passport for 110 bucks is a pretty good bit of space for not a lot of money...
