Formatting the Harddrives

Updating takes more than 2 weeks. I have enough.

Is it possible to format the Harddisks on a Windows PC and reinsert in the Box?
does mycloud home duo renconize the harddisk and install the necessary itself?
Thanks for answers

The Same failure I got. Finally, WD announced that both Hard drives failed. Lost my data.

Maybe your data is still on the drives!!
I suggest you download the recovery explorer professional software. i am near sure you will get back your data!

Hi ,
Do we need to purchase the license version of recovery software ? or the free version is enough ?
Could you provide the link for the download.

With the demo version you just can see if the data is really available. If yes, then you have to buy the professional version. It does not work with a cheaper version.
Here the link: Advanced software for data recovery experts – Recovery Explorer

Maybe there is a cheaper software on the net, but loss my data or paying the software. It’s your choice…
