USB Storage device formatting problem
Hello
First post from inexperienced...
I bought a new WD 500Gb usb device, wanted to format it to FAT32 so I could interface with PS3 and laptop with video etc.
like I said I am not all that experienced.. and looked on the web for help
ended up formatting it in DOS for 6 hrs for it to finish saying the volume was too big
i then tried to run FAT32 Formatter but it said the volume had collapsed and did i want to initialise? I said yes
since then i cannot read the drive, its like it doesn't exist any more, so cannot reformat back into any type let alone FAT32
I hope i have not ruined my new drive?
Will much appreciate any help
Thanks
