    External HD


    Hi
    I have a Samsung Story 1TB EHD,
    Heres a snip of diskmgmt
    So Diskmgmt sees the drive and i can format the drive but cant assign a drive letter, i get the error about rescanninig the disks or rebooting(see error.jpeg snip)
    Downloaded EASEUS Partition Master, it can see the drive i can format the drive, but when i try to assign a drive letter i get a failure to mount drive error
    I cant see the disk from my computer either
    So any ideas.......?

    Thanks
