Hi hoping someone can help after using my hdd on my zgemma my PC won't recognise it anymore.
Tried a couple of things already suggested on here
1)cmd prompt disk list but it only found my on board hdd not the external
2)downloaded hdd guru but again disk never showed up.
So if anyone has a sugestion for how I can get my PC to recognise the disk again after using it on zgemma and converting to ext 3/4 etc would be much appreciated thanks.
 
If your using it for swap then you have to deactivate it and unmount the hdd.

Or you could reflash the box with wooshbuild and let that do it all for you. When prompted to, just connect the box and allow it format and remove partitions when initialising.

Job done!!

Hi I don't want to use it on my box anymore I just want to format it on my PC and use it for other stuff it is a 250gb hdd but windows doesn't recognise it it says unknown USB thanks.
 
Try putting it back into your Zgemma, FTP into it and remove all data [ everything ] Then remove it and put it back into your pc and see if it will re-format it ??
 
If you PC makes th bing sound when you plug it:

Open Computer Management
Then Disk Management
In the bottom section, find the drive and right click and delete each volume
Create a new simple partition and format it.
