I just finished assembling my new computer, and I am now at the point where I want to migrate all of my music/videos/photos from my old Macbook Pro onto my new machine running Windows 8.1. I transferred the ~40 gbs worth of stuff onto an old 300gb external hard drive (which has been used almost exclusively with Macs if that makes a difference) and I just want to transfer the media over to my new hard drive.
In Disk Management, I can see the drive but the option to give it a drive letter is grayed out. I also cannot open or format it. The only thing I can do is delete, but that would defeat the point of using the external drive to migrate my files.
Finally, if I click on the name of the drive I can change it into a dynamic disk, but I have no idea if that'll work or keep by data on the drive.
Any help is much appreciated
