better to ask why than blindly follow like sheep.
it was a serious question. ive googled it but no luck. theres nothing wrong with the hard drive, windows telling me to format it makes no sense. its really annoying. |

thanks but its already a fat32 drive and i cant reformat it cos its loaded with files. nowhere i could transfer the files to, plus itd take all week to get them all off. besides, i dont think theres anything wrong with the drive. i dont get any errors when i plug it into my laptop or tv and everything plays fine. just my new build pc doesnt like it for some reason. maybe cos its 2tb and is usb powered its not pulling enough power all the time or summat.

Stupid F@cking machine, it does not need doing and they have info on. |

it only does it with one drive. i have about 8 of em. it does it with my 2tb usb powered drive.
basically, when i insert it, it gives the message to format the drive about 6 times...then finds the drive. i have to click cancel on all those windows. then sometimes im copying files to or from it and it will "lose" the drive and give this format drive thing again. i press cancel. i press dont bother bloody scanning the drive for errors. then i click try again to copy the files i was copying and it works. its very strange. theres no software on the drive to save power or anything so it cant be that. im baffled by this. |
