Formating the Bell PVR External Hard Drive

Formating the Bell PVR External Hard Drive on a Computer

i have the same problem. Used my external HD as a PVR now will not work on my Laptop.

The drive is formatted with an EXT3 filesystem – primarily used by Linux.

If you right click on “My Computer”, you should get the option to “Manage” your system. From that screen you should see an option there for “Disk Management” In there you should see your external hard drive. There’s where you should be able to format it by right clicking the drive and choosing from the menu that appears.

Word of caution, make sure it is your external hard drive you have selected before you try to format. It will erase everything that’s on the drive and if you select the wrong drive, it’s more than a little “oops”.

Hope this helps!
