Amber Cole 1,557 Posted October 23, 2013 I was trying to re format my hard drive into a FAT32 and I deleted its volume and now I cant assign a driver name. So I'm wanting ti know what do I do now ?? And I was looking at buying a new hard drive but I was wanting to know some recomendations of good reliable hard drives. Preferably under $65 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spacecop 22 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) If you're transferring large files with your external you need to format with ntfs if your on windows, mac os extended for mac. Fat can only transfer 4gb files at a time. Try reformatting it again and see what happens. I would recommend any western digital external but they are pricey.

Spacecop 22 Posted October 23, 2013 have you tried reformatting it in disk management? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spacecop 22 Posted October 23, 2013 Ok figured it out plug it in then go to Disk Management. Now look at the bottom section of disk management for Unallocated Space right click that and then click new simple volume. 1 Amber Cole reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
