How to reformat a Linux disc for Win 7 NTFS?
Hello all,
We have an old drive that it formatted for Linux (it used to be a backup disc for a Synology Server - which uses Linux).
I now want to re-pupose the drive as a archive disc for Win 7.
It is a USB drive so I can plug it into my WIn7 PC, but neither my PC nor Apple will recognise it - hence I can't reformat it!
I'm not a Linux uses and don't have LiveCD.
What's the easiest way of reformatting the drive to NTFS?
Thank you
I did not find the right solution from the internet

In Win7, goto cmd.exe (make a shortcut on desktop).
Type in:
Diskpart <enter>
list disk
does it show your USB drive?
If so:
select disk # (# is the USB drive number listed above)
clean (Now it must be visible in Windows Disk management as unallocated,
you can format there)
if not: Sorry can't help you, drive may be broken.
in either case
exit
exit
