Hello TTG, I just recently bought a 1TB external HDD and I need help being able to use it on my RGH. My console won't recognize it because it's in NTSC format, but when I tried to format it into FAT32 the option wasn't available. The only options available are NTSC and exFAT and I've tried both, my RGH still can't recognize the HDD. Any help is appreciated and will +rep if I can get this fixed

EDIT: I don't need the above problem solved anymore, right now having technical issues. My computer HDD isn't being read anymore and computer sits at black screen saying "No bootable device -- Please restart system" and won't boot. Anyone have a fix for this? Willing to buy recovery disk if needed. If it can be done without and someone helps me then it'll have a reward ($)

Windows doesn't let you format large drives to FAT32, you have to use third party tools, like this:

The tool completely screwed up my computer before I even did anything. Now Windows is giving me an error every time I try to boot it, saying there is no bootable device found. Yeah thanks, the tool really helped out

Sounds like you formatted your boot device instead of your USB.
I use that tool and it works fine, you just have to know how to use it.

You formatted the wrong drive. Sounds like you formatted your C drive because I use that tool.

I didn't even click on anything. The tool just opened then my computer shut down immediately. Now it won't boot...

I re downloaded the program. Ran it unlimited and it is working perfectly fine. There must have been something else wrong with it.

There might've, I don't really know right now... I'm editing the topic in a second, does anyone know how to fix the 'No bootable device' error? I'm willing to buy a recovery disk if that's what it comes down to
