The problem is also confirmed on a Win10 Pro x86 (32 bit) machine.įormatting of the USB drive can not be done on the Win10 machine.
The USB was formatted using Win7 in FAT32. But, FAT, FAT32, and exFAT are supported by Win10. Connecting the drive to a Linux OS based CPU had no problem reading the FAT32 USB drive. An 8GB Fat32 USB drive was not recognized. (I know, I know, redundant acronym is redundant.) Also, there is enough space on the C drive of the Windows drive for files, and then I could have the laptop format the external drive, and then move the files back.

I should also note that the portable hard drive worked just fine on my desktop PC prior to the AU update. I could delete it, but I've never felt I needed to recover the space. When the Xbox 360 uses a flash drive or a portable hard drive, it creates a sort of virtual disk volume. It's 32GB of junk data, some of which is Rockband songs. As for the difference in volume size, the only thing I can think of is, the hard drive contains a hidden folder created by my wife's Xbox 360. It's weird that both the laptop and the desktop see the same partitions. I thought maybe the work computer somehow took ownership of the hard drive, but that can't be done in FAT32, can it? And even if so, I should still be able to grant myself access. Here's a screenshot from the Windows 7 PC on the disk. Here's a picture of Disk Management on the laptop (home desktop says the same). The hard drive works just fine on the Windows 7 machine, and after verifying it does, the laptop still won't read it. Both agree it has an 80GB unallocated partition and then a 180GB unallocated partition, followed by a healthy 260GB primary partition, but I can't give it a drive letter or see what it thinks is there. Hooked it up to the desktop to copy some stuff to the (new) laptop, and all of a sudden it couldn't read it.

Can't install things so we use flash drives or hard drives to load our own software. Basically just use it to run PortableApps stuff. Last night I used the portable drive at work.

Laptop is an i7 6500U with 12GB of RAM and Windows 10 Home AU.
Home desktop is a Xeon 1231v3 with 16GB of RAM and Windows 10 Pro AU. Work computer is an i5-3570 with 4GB of RAM and Windows 7 SP1. I have a portable Western Digital hard drive, 500GB model, USB 3.0 bus-powered.
