NAS to USB drive Backup - Corrupt disk?
« on: May 05, 2014, 05:43:27 AM »
My 320L successfully back-ups up to an external hard drive connected via the USB port on the back. However, when I attached the Hard Drive to a computer to "view" the files on the hard drive, my computer said the hard drive was unreadable/corrupted. However, when I attach the USB hard drive to the NAS, I can access the USB Hard drive backed up files via Network Sharing (it shows as a shared hard drive on the NAS).

Any ideas why I can't "normally" read the files on the hard drive?

Were you able to view the HDD contents on a PC before connecting the device to the DNS-320L for the first time? How was the HDD originally formatted?

Yes. Before I plugged the USB drive into the NAS, i formatted the disk on my PC, and I was able to open it (though it was empty). It's formatted NTFS. I wasn't sure if the 320L reformatted it to a different format, maybe a Linux partition?
