USB hard drive help?
-
So I accidently formatted my external hard drive win32 and now I can't re formatted it back to its original size. SD formatter only works for SD cards, so is there a program that will formatt it back as easy as SD formatter does for SD cards?
-
What is win32 format? You mean fat32?. What format do you want it in? You can format the drive from pretty much any os.
-
@dizmodawg You can format with the tools nearly every os has..
For example formating with windows, just right click the connected drive and then format
Otherwise you can use the device and partition manager (but be carefull with that one) -
What I mean is I want to get it back to the original 500gb ntcs but ony 52mb shows in my windows. Windows only formats it back to the 52mb because that's all that it See's just like windows won't format a retropie card back to it original size you have to SD formatter. Is there any thing like SD formatter for a external USB hard drive?

@dizmodawg In the windows search bar search for partition and open the (I guess it is called like this) "device and partition manager", search for.zour device, delte the partition it has now and create a new one (use all space)
Otherwise there are better/cleaner tools for that such as "Partition Wizard"

@dizmodawg i use easeus partition master. It is capable of deleting the linux partitions and formatting it back.
