Need to format an external HDD to fat 32 on windows 7. I dont have to to go thorugh cmd promot to format it that way, I need something quicker. Help. Any help with this will be very much appreciated (as it always is)
Ive used EaseUS Partition Master 9 and im now on fat 32 on a 500gb external hdd BUT, its gone from 465Gb usable down to a 2.7gb, Im struggling with this, is there anyway to put it back to 500 gb (465gb)? Help. Any help with this will b e very much appreciated
I don't understand why you didn't use eFat?! Anyway, if you used EaseUS 9 and it didn't done the job, you'd done something wrong. I use the EaseUS 9 Server Edition and it does Fat32 partitioning and formatting with nor problems and the available space is near the same as in NTFS! Also formatted an external USB 3.0 Acer 500GB HDD to FAT32 with EaseUS and NO PROBLEM!
How can I restore the full amount of space on my hdd? Its shrunk to 2.7gbs. I must have done something in EaseUS but not sure what.
Run EaseUS again and delete all existing partitions so you have just one unallocated disk then make partition. A screen shot would help so we can see what's going on.
This is a nightmare. I sorted the full space (465GB) of the 500bg hdd then reformatted it to fat32 the space available is now 43.gb. HELP!!!!!
I think I've realised what the problem is. I think its my hard drive case. The micro usb connector is very loose and when I shone my maglite into my hdd housing, I could make out that something wasnt right. Ive now taken my hdd out of the caddy and will throw it into my desktop. If it is the case, I'll buy a replacement off ebay.
Try one thing: use an Contact Cleaner for Electronics like Kontakt60 or 61, EL-MECH or some like that and spray the contacts of Case and Cables for to get dust out and clean. May that will do the job. DO NOT use "normal" Contact Cleaner which is used for "heavy" works, must be for Electronic's!
