Hdd enclosure not showing on my samsung tv

Try to format it with the TV. TVs typically use linux file system like ext3.

You can reformat on either Windows or Linux and the drive will then be recognised again by the TV which will then reformat and allow you to use it.

Unfortunately you will lose all data (although you can recover it before reformatting using an XFS file system recovery tool - you'll then have the problem of actually using the recovered files because they're all DRM protected....).

If the problem gets really bad it may completely kill your drive - I have already had to return one to the shop! Best answer is buy a separate DVR.......
