Thank you so much. I have actually have two external hard drives that are in this state right now. So a lot of money not being used correctly. I hope you can find a fix for this.

Settings --> Storage & reset --> Then I choose my WD USB drive -->Erase & format as removable storage.

The message:

Erase & Format

After formatting, you can use this USB drive in other devices. All data will be erased. Consider backing up first by moving apps to other device storage.

Keep in mind I am currently using this device storage right now. If you want I can follow the step above and reconnect to the box and tell you the message it gives me when connecting for what the box thinks the first time. When doing that the message is almost the exact opposite as the one above. Its telling you if you format this device then this box will only be able to use it.

Thanks again.

Im not at the box right now, but I believe when you connect an external hard drive it directs you to format and gives you a warning that once you format it will only work on that box. Then if you go back in to that hard drive it tells you that you can format again so its visible to other PC's again. Am I wrong?

Thanks for the responses!

You are not understanding what I am saying. I have tried that on both my Mac and my neighbors Windows. Nothing can detect it all besides the Formuler box. I have tried several different options. I thought maybe it was my MacOS not seeing so I my neighbor took it (who is a developer) and he could not seem to find it either. I have connected two WD external hard drives to the formula and neither one of them can be found on computers now.

Thank you. If my computer does not see it how is that supposed to work? Once again only the box is seeing it.

Can you send me a link to the article please? I don't understand how I am going to format it when no computer will recognize it.

Who knows. Thank you for help. I have tried everything to my knowledge and the Z8 is the only thing that will recognize it.

Personally only have a Mac, so i took it over to my neighbors to check it on his Windows and it still didn't show. I went through the format process on the Formula as directed. Just odd how the Formuler Z8 can detect but a computer can not.

I formatted my external hard drive on my formuler z8. Is there any way I am able to use it again outside of my formuler box? Please help.
