External Hard Drive Showing Blank When Full
I own two Western Digital hard drives which I store all my important data on. One is a WD MyBook 1TB and the other is a WD Passport 500gb. I use these drives in conjunction with a WDTV Live unit to watch and listen to my media.
I keep having errors with Windows 7 and the permissions and recognization of these two drives. I thought I had figured this out before but forgot how to fix it and I am asking for help.
My 1tb drive shows as a BLANK drive and I know that it is full. It shows as an active drive in disk management and I've renamed it to different drive letter. It is recognizing the drive but not the data on the drive.
I believe I read before that it has something to do with windows 7 and the WDTV live changing the permissions and remapping the drive.
I spent the last few hours trying to figure this out. HOping someone on here could help me out.
