Problem with external HDD?
Hi guys,
So I recently bought a Western Digital Elements External HDD and because it didn't play well with my server I formatted it to EXT4, all went well for a little while and finally it played well.
Now my dad wanted to use it as a backup with Windows WITHOUT having to access the server so I unplugged it from there and tried accessing it from within windows to no avail. (It wouldn't read from the hard drive) I thought it may have been because the drive was in an EXT4 format, so I reformatted to NTFS.
Now here's the weird part...
I can access the drive (Which is now NTFS) from my Linux distro, but when it comes to Windows 7, it has the same problem as before the reformat. ( where windows won't even read from the drive).
Any ideas on what's going on and how I could fix it?
Thanks.
Jamie
