HOW TO RECOVER YOUR BOGART FORMATTED EXT.HD
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2009 2:36 pm
There has been some discussion prior that an external HD, once FORMATTED in BOGART will NOT function anymore on a PC nor will be RECOGNIZED at all. This was due to the HD being formatted to the LINUX SYSTEM that BOGART enjoys. The PC will not recognize or display an icon in the MY COMPUTER area. To the user, it appears that the HD can only be dedicated to BOGART and the LINUX system only.
This is NOT so.
Here is a good tip: You can save your external HD and bring it back to use and specs to use on your PC ad vice versa for BOGART.
Go to: http://www.fs-driver.org/
Simply Download the file. That's it!
Go to MY COMPUTER and your LINUX-BASED HD will now appear once more.
"CLICK" on the LINUX HD and your PC will ask to format the drive for your PC. Worked fine. You can now use this external drive (in my case a LaCie) for both the BOGART and my PC just by reformatting. NOTE: It will be NTFS not FAT 32 but will still work with your PC and I ASSUME a MAC as well.
