WD My Book 3T used as extension to PVR (bell)

Hello I need help with drivers. I need to tidy up my 3T hardrive because it’s nearly full and there are tons of dupes. It is nearly full and I can’t view or play the content on my pvr so I’ve connected it to my Dell desktop. I can’t find a driver can anyone help?

Hello,

If you are using this drive on a DVR it will not be recognized in the computer unless you format it. Formatting it will delete all data stored on it. 

…climbing on here, but how DOES one format the drive once it’s been used with the Bell PVR - that’s precisely what I want to do, but I keep getting the message that I don’t have sufficient permissions…

Try using a third party format tool. There are some free ones is you search.
