I have an Asus Wl700ge which is a router with hd utility to function as an FTP server. This device failed yesterday and I was using a WD Mybook USb drive as a Raid1 mirror on the router.
I then connected the WD drive to my vista box and it loads the driver but is not visible in Computer.
It is visible by the WD diagnostic utility and in Vista Disk Management but is listed as an unallocated, non-initialized drive, it asks to intialize with MBR. I did not.
Asus says the unit uses NTFS but the online community indicates the Asus unit uses Reifers and a linux box with some significant mods is needed to access it, I would agree with this since Windows doesnt see it.
Does anyone have any idea how to get the WD drive recognized by Vista since its there and recognized but not seen in Computer as a designated drive?
TIA,
Chris
