As I posted here:
Ubuntu kills comp, grub reset screen only shows
I partitioned my external harddrive via ubuntu to run ubuntu. Back on windows, my harddrive isn't read in my computer but it shows in device manager. How can i access this?
Additional info: Seagate 500 gb harddrive
I think the problem is the format. The partition/drive must be formatted in NTFS and have a drive letter. The Linux formats will not do.
Im not sure i understand, the hard drive worked before and then the partition is in ext4 to run ubuntu, but nothing else is touched.
ext4 is not a format that windows can deal with. If you want to use the drive in windows, you have to reformat it to NTFS which Linux can handle too.
Oh ok. Thank you.
