| | USB hard disk error: "You need to format the disk in drive F: ..." I was using my USB hard disk for a word document when suddenly, I was unable to save my file. When I double-clicked on the disk's icon in my computer, the error message shows "You need to format the disk in drive F: before you can use it". What should I do to solve this? |
