Media Drive issues

Hi guys,

I recently installed Tomato firmware on my WNR3500L and loving the features it provides. One of the main reasons I installed was to use the DLNA server to share content between multiple devices.

This has been working well until recently and I have started to have issues with being unable to stream content. When browsing, no content is found. Rebuilding the DB ususally resolved this.

Anyway, I've now got an issue where I cannot seem to get this to work, so tried connecting the USB drive to my laptop to remove the DLNA database, and Windows is unable to access the drive. It states that the drive requires formatting.

If I plug the drive back in to my router, I am still able to access the data via UNC network sharing though.

Does anyone know of a way to repair the drive/resolve the issue of Windows not being able to access the drive?

Cheers

Rad.

Sorted this mysef.

Sorted this mysef.
Found that although Windows couldn't do anything with the drive, Linux could.
Mounted it on a Linux machine, backed up the data and then re-frormatted.

All looking OK again now.
