A friend brought me their external HDD, which freezes Windows when it is accessed.
I can access the drive okay from linux, but I get various errors about split files and other issues, during the copying of the data to another disk. And it's a lot of data -- close to 500 GB. Too much to fuss with, file by file.
Can I reformat the disk without data loss, and if so, how? If this is a bad idea, what is recommended in such a situation?
