I have a brand new external drive.
My Windows laptop can't see it at all. It gives that windows sound when I plug it in, but then can't appear to see it.
I tried it on a laptop with linux. Linux can read it, knows it's a 500Gb, knows its brand and can see partitions, but I can't do anything to it. I even took the drastic measure of attempting to format it, but it can't do that, I got an error message - "Error synchronizinf after initial wipe, Timed out"
Any help much appreciated.
