If it is detected, change the drive letter and go back to the Windows Explorer and check if you can open it. To do this, open Disk Utility and connect the drive to your Mac. Under External in the left hand menu, click on your external hard drive and then click on the Erase button. Make sure you backup any data before you erase the drive. When you click Erase, a dialog will pop up where you can configure some options. Sep 04, 2017 Question: Q: Windows 10 Boot Camp won't recognize USB-C connected devices I just set up a partition on my 2017 Macbook Pro with Touch Bar and USB-C. I've noticed that when I plug in my external hard drive, using a USB-C to USB adapter, that Windows doesn't recognize that anything is plugged in.
Install Bootcamp External Drive
Mac Bootcamp From External Hard Drive
Hi,
I've just expanded my Bootcamp partition succesfully, however I can no longer view the PC side (NTFS formatted) of my external hard drive. I can now view the Mac side, but this is not very useful as all my data is on the PC side! I have checked the external drive, and on another PC, I can see the drives I would expect (i.e. only the PC side). My other hard drive (also split) is working fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am at a bit off a loss. Have tried rebooting Windows, reformatting the PC side of the hard drive all to no avail.
Cheers!!
