Here is my issue:
I have a 1TB external drive that I use for backing up to and so I can back up from other PCs I "converted" it to a NAS drive using a Network Storage Link with USB connect (NSL).
All worked perfect for about 11 months and suddenly I get failures of the NSL.
So I thought I would just put the drive back to use as a normal USB to PC ext drive. However to set it up originally I had to change the NTFS format and now when I connect it to a PC directy it is not seen.
If I look in the disk management I can see it but in "my computer" it is not mounted and I can't map to it. I can't reformat it via disk management.
So it looks like I may have useless 1TB drive. Don't really want to get another NSL as it was 50 quid and hasn't lasted that long.
Anyone any ideas on how to recover the drive as I am at the limit of my PC capabilities.
Thanks
