Hi all,
Hope every one has had a merry xmas.
Does any one know if this[1] 1.5Tb USB disk from Maplins will work on an ubuntu 9.10 machine? If not how could I make it work?
I bought a similar one last year and it was not recognised by the PC so I ended up removing the HDD and installing it as an internal drive.
Now they're about £30 cheaper than last year and I still need a decent size external drive for backup.
I've been to the shop to ask - they don't know and they won't let me try it and return if it doesn't work.
I've emailed Maplins tech help - no reply. I've emailed Verbaitum's tech help - no reply.
So I thought I'd ask here before I lay out my cash on something else that may not work as intended.
TIA Nev
