Zulu3475 6 Report post Posted January 2, 2022 Hello All, Please help. I have two 2TB Hard drives, Seagate, SkyHawk and WD Purple. Those two hard drives were removed from Lorex Security Camera unit. Windows are allowed me to format both hard drives. However, after I formatted, Windows is longer recognizes neither hard drives and I cannot reformat either. Your guidance is greatly appreciated Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smooth 92 Report post Posted January 5, 2022 How did you format them? Did you use something built into windows, or an outside program? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zulu3475 6 Report post Posted January 6, 2022 I used Windows 10 to format. BTW, The Seagate is working now. WD still not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smooth 92 Report post Posted January 6, 2022 Have you tied it on another machine? how is it hooked up to the computer? have you checked in disk management for windows to see if its there but does not have a drive letter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
