I have 2 WD10EZEX 1tb drives that I purchased new last year at and am wondering if the anyone else has experienced or know any solutions to my drive problems. Both are NTFS.
Uses: 1 drive running Windows 10 64 bit w/1 OS and 1 storage partition (Drive A), 2nd Drive running in Inateck FD1003 hdd dock as external for another windows 7 32bit pc (Drive B)
For some reason, I am not able to access files from these drives when inserted into another computer or hdd dock. For example, since Drive B is used as an external for another computer, I would put that hdd into the windows 10 pc to transfer some files, but it says the drive needs to be formatted before it can be used.
Case 2: I would use Drive A in the windows 7 pc as an external and I get the same message telling me to format the drive before use. This only happens with my 2 WD10EZEX drives since all of my other bare drives are fine when swapped between these two computers.
