Problem with USB HD
Posted: 04 Jun 2016, 23:16
Hi Forum,
Recently I discovered a problem with USB HD which was not there before - w'7 can't access the drive any more and wants to format it.. while it is perfectly OK for XP machine.
I tried couple of things, but whatever I do, w7 system can't access the drive that was accessible before, and still is for XP (and linux, running on my Samsung TV).
I downloaded both versions of Testdisk (64 and windows), and w'7 version detects only RAW healthy partition, while XP (and USB disk works OK on that machine) detects Intel/PC partition.
I need to have access to USB disk from both machines
How should I proceed ? Should I select Intel/DOS partition and hope for the best?
Thank you in advance!
