Is it still empty? What TV? Did u ever format it?

 

[brianparsons08]

Its an LG 3D smart TV, i plugged it into the TV to record some shows and i formatted it. And now i want to use it on my computer. it recognises it in my Devices and Printers control pannel but i cant access it to use it.

If the tv uses a proprietary format, your computer won't be able to read it and the disk will need initialized and formatted for the PC.

how do i go about doing that

 

[Hawkeye22]

Use disk management to do it. *THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA*

it is saying that i need ti initialize, partition and format the drive. when i go to do this the only thing that comes up is DELETE VOLUME.

Do i do this???? If i do what wil it do and will it help

If the volume(partition) already exists, you can simply format it. If you delete it, you'll need to create a new volume(partition), then format it.
