But again - after the exercise the HD was unrecognised by the PC- which people seem to agree could not have been as a result of simply deleting files from it.
And all this happened to TWO external units not just one- more than coincidence?.

So how did Donny reassemble the units before retrying in the PC? Is there something wrong there?

Or were there "reformat cock-ups" within Tyros as a result of it getting confused which has rendered the disks unreadable?
This has happened to me once in a minor way on Ty2 with USB sticks originally formatted to NTFS and then reformatted directly on Ty2.

Just thinking aloud in case it rings any bells with some one with more knowledge on the subject.

Yes John, it would be good to know EXACTLY the steps Donny has taken, even including all the keystrokes he used in deleting the disk.

I agree, that the same thing happening on 2 disks does point to a non-coincidence.
