April 7Apr 7 Have not been able to figure this out all day. I have a WD Easystore drive which I keep formatting with one entire partition on my Windows PC.Unraid keeps seeing it having two. I keep using Disk Management in Windows and it shows just 1.
April 7Apr 7 Community Expert Probably something windows is doing that is skipping the smaller partition for whatever reason windows has.Why not just format it on unraid? Edited April 7Apr 7 by MowMdown
April 7Apr 7 Author Probably my ignorance, but not sure how to format it NTFS. Only seems to do xfs. I want to be able to hook it up to my Windows PC and see the files as necessary.
April 7Apr 7 Community Expert Solution Install Unassigned Devices Plus on unraid, enable destructive mode, clear all partitions, then format NTFS. Edited April 7Apr 7 by Kilrah
April 7Apr 7 Author Thank you. I had the add-on actually installed, but apparently was doing the steps incorrectly. Finally, I did something right and after selecting clear (again) this time format came up with options. Your suggestion of using UnRaid to format NTFS was what I needed to get me to look at what I was doing wrong. Appreciate it!
