Hi. I'm suck and hoping to find help here. Thank you for reading my post.
I have an Actiontec V1000H router/modem provided by my ISP.
The modem/router has a USB port that is active and works.
The USB port reads (so I've been told) NTFS and FAT drives.
I have a 250gb external hard drive that was formatted FAT32.
The drive was hooked up to the router, and I could read/write files from the hard drive.
The drive was originally purchased as a FAT32 format.
To start fresh, I reformatted the 250gb drive using the software FAT32 Format.
The drive, when attached to the Actiontec V1000H and viewed in the router GUI reads correctly as 250gb.
BUT when I connect to the drive via my computers (either iMac or PC), I am told the drive is only 21M in size and that the drive is full. I cannot write anything to the drive.
If I hook up a USB key/stick to the USB port on the Actiontec V1000H for testing purposes, I am able to read/write to the USB stick.
I would like to read/write to my 250gb drive but don't know where to turn to fix my issue.
The drive is reporting correctly in the Actiontec V1000H GUI, but not otherwise.
Thank you for your assistance.
