    recognise HDD

    i took the working external HDD from my vu+uno because i fitted one internally.
    thought i would try using the external on my pc.
    device driver was installed ok but the disk doesnt show up in MY COMPUTER.
    i went into DISK MANAGEMENT where it is showing but has no drive letter.
    right click shows assign drive letter etc, but the options are greyed out.
    i assume it may have something to do with the disk formatted to ext3/4 by the uno but i'm at a loss on how to change the format ( if format is the issue)
    any help appreciated.

    i just this minute sorted it out.
    one option i did have was to DELETE VOLUME.
    i did that and then you get options to use the drive via a wizard that allows you to format it.
    the thing is, as i was clicking through the wizard i recalled doing it a few years ago, the grey matter doesn't seem to compute as well these days
    thanks for the reply anyway, there is some useful info in there.
