Hi:
I just purchased a maxtor usb external hard drive, while the computer has
recognized it, I cannot format it or convert it.
When I try to convert it using the command prompt saying it cannot
determine file system.
When I try to format it does read it all.
I am operating windows business vista, as this was purchased from e-bay the
item was probably run under a earlier version of windows can that be the
problem?, if so then I need to use the compatiablity wizard to operate it
under an earlier version but how do I apply the wizard to hardware when I
thought it can only be used for software?
It is a FAT system and not a FAT32 system- should I convert to a Fat32
system first and then NFTS? Or are they the same? I'm going to Maxtor to see
if their are any solutions there,
Thanks for the help.
