OK I will try to explain as simply as I can...


I have two LT hard drives 40 G each Toshiba & Fujitsu EXTERNAL I use these as backups to my main computer, I have them in a USB case that connects to my PC....both worked properly

I wanted to take one of them & install it in my TYROS

being there was info on both I took one and hooked it up in my PC USB....went to my computer opened the drive and selected all and DELETED all the files...

I then proceeded to install it in the TYROS

after installation the hard drive was not recognized by the TYROS for formatting....

so I thought maybe the other drive would work....I removed the first drive & went through the same procedure Deleting all the files on HD #2 on my PC & tried to install it in the TYROS

exactly the same result NOTHING

I then gave up & decided to put the HD back in the case and use it for backup & replace the files.....when I plugged it USB in my PC again It didn't show up at all as a drive .....this also happened with H2

now IM left with 2 HD's that cannot be recognized......

My PC is fine all my thumb drives work and usb devices....


I hope this explains more.....

Tomorrow I will take them into the shop.......does TYROS need a FAT 32 or FAT or? format to work in TYROS?
