Pi B+ problems with a 1TB WD external hard drive

Sat Sep 13, 2014 10:03 pm

So I am not much better than a total noob but I am trying to get better. I ordered a preloaded micro sd card for my B+ with XBMC and it works like a dream. everything is quick and slick just the way it should be. I have a highly recommended and rated USB hub which is preforming awesome.

Then I hook my hard drive to it and the fun begins. I open the section of XBMC to look for the hard drive and files and find only the WD "unlocker.exe" section, not the section with my movies/music (maybe I'm just not seeing it?). So I hook it back up to the laptop and sure enough its unlocked but on my computer menu its laid out as 2 separate drives. 1) G:\disc drive WD unlocker AND 2) My passport H:\. So there's that...

So far i have considered reformatting my drive to the FAT system... or ordering a new "no lock" hard drive... any sugestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
