@Villa .... You mean you have to connect them there HDD's???? I didn't know Ha! Ha! But seriously, you guys have done it!, Now my OCD-Pig-Headedness has been awakened and once this happens it will not subside until this minor bug is crushed forever
I think I may have a line on what's been going on. First what didn't work: I tried every file manager imaginable, small ones, big ones, root explorers. Download, install, run, uninstall, Wash, Rinse, Repeat y Nada, Nothing, Ziltch ... the Big O... etc. Then I thought it could be the powered USB Hub which could be introducing an incompatibility to the mix. I have a La Cie 500GB which my wife uses on her TV. It's SCSI. They are not only faster but don't typically need as much power as the new monster 4TB or + drives. I connected it ... yes
@Villa I connected it
to the T5 and ..............it didn't work either.
Then I grabbed a 32GB Sandisk USB I had lying around, copied a test file to it and .........
yes... my regular favourite X-Plore deleted it perfectly!! Hmmmm now I had a lead to follow. I checked the file system on the HDD's and it is NTFS. Then I looked at the one on the little USB exFat! Ah! Ha! I found the Guilty Party!
Mr. Mustard in the Den with A Knife!!! No no, sorry wrong game!
Now, how to convert the 4gb Seagate to exFat without any data destruction. It can be done, but not without severe fragmentation along with all the drawbacks that entails. Ok, I'll just copy the 500 GB of data from the Seagate 4GB to my screaming, highly modified in Cali, Zenbook Pro. It will be done in no time. No way Jose! The Zenbook only has a 500GB SDD so too small. My wife is using her little, fast as Hell, HP Hot Rod, so I am relegated to my 6-year-old 23 inch, HP All-In-One that I only use for teaching on the Internet.
It's doing it now .... 1 hour and 15 minutes for a copy that would only take 30 on my Zenbook.
Once that's done I will format the Seagate to exFAT and Bob
should be my uncle!
I will update you once I have done the final test. It ain't over til it's over!
