  1. Did I lose A External Hard Drive?


    Okay so basically I just bought an external USB hardrive so I can have more space for my PS4/Desktop.

    I first used it a little on my PC [worked fine] Then used it on my PS4.

    It told me I had to Format it [which I did] But now I can’t use it on my PC anymore, the plugged in prompt won’t even appear on my Pc screen.

    Am I just screwed from using it on PC now? Can I undo it?

    Please tell me I can re-format it to PC.

    External hard drive not recognised

    Thanks for this. I've done what you suggested and been through all the steps mentioned in the article. The hard drive works fine on a Mac computer, and I've managed to copy the information on it. It must be a Surface issue so I'll try to get a chat line tomorrow.
