My Passport 1TB not showing up on My Computer

I tired connecting my new 1TB My Passport to my DTH for recording TV programs. Didnt used it and tried connecting back to my computer. But I think the formart is changed now. Showing as My Passport USB HDD connected. but I am not able to access the drive.

Tried running Data LifeGuard etc, everything is showing as pass/good health. Drive is not locked. But not able to read. We need to make it as FAT32 or NTFS. Plz help.

Most video devices use FAT32 check your TV or player to find out.

Joe, I dont want to connect to TV any more. I want to connect the drive to computer. But its not showing up in My Computer.

Are you trying to save the data? If not just reformat it from Windows. You can convert a FAT32 drive to NTFS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214579 . This command will also sometimes repair a corrupt NTFS drive. Does the drive show in Disk Management?
