Re: Filled external hard drive appears empty in nautilus after 12.10 reinstall
msdos or Master Boot Record is type of the partition table. You can still have partitions with filesystem that is FAT32, ext4, etc. It's not very wise to keep using FAT32 these days, especially since ubuntu supports NTFS very good. So, if you need an ext disk to be readable by windows too, format it as NTFS. If you want it for ubuntu only, you can also do ntfs or you can go with ext4.
In any case, as suggested above, first post the:
sudo parted -l
and lets see what the output is.
