Can't access my HDD
I removed a 250GB WD HDD from my swann DVR and installed a larger drive. I planned to reuse the 250GB drive, but cannot get the drive recognized by my windows 7/8.1/10 machine. Drive manager says it needs to be initialized, but when I do, it says it does not recognize the format and initialization fails. Cannot write a new MBR. No format, partition options are available. Thinking the DVR formating caused this. It worked as expected while in the DVR. Would appreciate suggestions here.Tx
