I have bought a new Seagate 1TB external drive.
I have partitioned it in 3 partitions:
-
1 of 650gb ntfs 4k cluster (primary)
-
1 of 200gb ntfs 4k cluster (logical)
-
1 of 100gb ntfs 4k cluster (logical)
I have media files on all partitions
When i plug the drive on my “wd tv live streaming” it only mounts the first partition (the primary one), after that i extract safely the drive from wdtvlive and when i plug the hdd on my computer and windows 7 doesn’t recognize the other 2 logical partitions !!! I have to do a chkdsk to fix them.
Why is this happening?
I think it only recognizes one partition per external hard drive.
No, you are wrong, as i said before this is how my disk is partitioned:
-
1 of 650gb ntfs 4k cluster (primary) → for movies, tv shows…
-
1 of 200gb ntfs 4k cluster (logical) → for backups
-
1 of 100gb ntfs 4k cluster (logical) → for software
Well, i have discovered that the WD can not handle partitions with to many files and a big directory depth.
I have deleted the software partition and converted the backups partition from logical to primary and… voila !!! now the WD shows the other two partitions.
I think that WD have to study and solve this issue…
