I have an external hard drive which is not working in windows. When i insert it, it plays the sound of new hard ware found but its not apearing on my computer. i have downloaded a live cd of knoppix and i am able to access my files on the drive. My question is, Is there a way i could format this drive in linux as i cant use it in windows. it is NTSF formart at the moment. any ideas. ps i am a linux noob
How can i formart an external hard drive in linux?
yes, connect it...
for the shell
Use the mount command to make it use able and then
format it
fdformat or just format if you wish....
windows can still connect to the system if you wish....
the above problem looks like a driver issue....
make user that you don't have a E or F mounted for something else for USB connections prefer to use them...
If so cange the drive leter...
