External Hard disk not workng on windows after I formatted it on Ubuntu
- by nav_jan
I formatted my Western Digital 500 Gb hard disk on Ubuntu 10.4 and now I want to use it on Windows 7 but it cannot detect it.
I formatted it with FAT(applicable to all) option.
I tried to Google this problem a bit and as suggested by one of the site i tried to format this drive with NTFS. Still windows cannot detect it.
Drives in windows 7 is not a problem because I tried a different usb drive on it and it works.
I can see the led of the drive glow when I connect it and I can also see remove drive safely option in lower right corner, but i cannot see any option in "my computer" to access the hard disk.
I am new to Ubuntu. Any help is appreciated.
