I hooked drive up to DISH DVR to record movies and then unplugged it to hook it back up to my Windows 7 Ultimate pc to transfer/backup pc files and it didnt work. Shows up in device manager but not in my computer. PLEASE HELP! thanks in advance.:)
 
Solution
DISH DVR uses a non-standard format and you cannot access the movies in Windows.

If you want to use the drive with Windows you will need to unallocate all the partitions, then re-initialize and format the drive.
