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?
