Last night, I bought, from London Drugs, a 1 TB Verbatim external drive for backup of files from an old tower that I want to donate.
It is detected by the OS on both the old tower and my ThinkPad, both of which run Linux Mint 14 with Mate desktop. I only saw one of the partitions, with 16 GB free. KDE partition manager, when I got it to run, showed the full disk, and an 'msdos' partition formatted FAT32. The larger space does not appear in Mint's file management GUI tools. Under Windows 7 (yes, I know) the full space appears. I can use the Windows storage management tools to display the various partitions. I formatted some unallocated space as FAT32 and was able to both see it and create a new directory in it. Considering doing a full wipe and partition might cause difficulties if I want to switch it for another, what are your thoughts on the best way to proceed? I may want to use this with Windows, but am more concerned with getting it to function on Linux, with Truecrypt, etc. I have Nepomuk backup installed, but have never used it. Suggestions appreciated.
