So I have this internal 1 TB Sata HDD plugged into my POHD. When I first started the POHD, I would always get the "Format HDD" message, which I skipped for 1-2 weeks as I was copying my Data from this HDD to another USB one.
Once all the data was copied, yesterday, I used the POHD and formatted my internal HDD (for the first time). The formatting was successfully completed. Although I didn't copy anything back to the HDD soon after formatting.
After doing this, I tried to connect it as a slave to my Laptop, but it doesnt come up. The USB icon appears in the tray and it says Linux Based hard drive.... or something similar.
I tried it in another Laptop, and the Disk Management showed me the 1 TB HDD with 3 partitions of 137 MB each. I have checked on the AC Ryan forums and these partitions are made after formatting via POHD.
Although when I click on the hard drive and try to click and format the HDD, I get an error saying, restart Disk Mgt or restart windows and try again.
I need to know, what can I do so that the drive is recognizable both by the POHD and the Laptop??
Also FYI, after formatting it with the POHD, I don't get the "Format HDD" message request again!
