Hi Guys,

So I formatted a drive with Chromecast with out knowing that I cant use it again in Windows. Does anyone know how to revert it back to a NTFS drive?

Thanks 🙂

I found the answer, you have to use the Chromecast to revert the drive back to a removable drive via settings.

If you open "Computer Management" and click "Disk Management" in the sidebar, can you see the USB and format/create a new volume from there?
