I was messing around showing my friend how to mount his external WD drive on his mac and in order to save a file I had to format it..
Anyways long story short He wanted me to take the drive home to move some stuff over however I can't get the drive to show up on here and under the disk manger service I have no option to format as well.
How can I get it to show?
ok I think I got it but it does not say what it had in the last version of windows it makes it seem like it was going to run as RAID
If I understand your post correctly, you formatted the hard drive using a MAC, depending on what format you used you may or may not be able to read the drive. Sounds like you may have formatted the drive in a MAC format not FAT or FAT32 hence why Windows 7 cannot see it.
There is a program called HFS Explorer that allows a windows based machine to read a MAC drive. Looks like it has not been updated in a while so I am not sure the compatibility of Windows 7 would be.
well it was a new drive and I only moved a small test file over for him so it was no big deal.. I formatted it back to NFTS i think mac can read that but not write to it which is no big deal at the moment.
