Another thing you should try is backing up your data on the MBP and then reformat the USB drive in FAT32 instead. Afterwards, transfer back your files to the drive and check again if you will be able to see it anywhere else in Windows 7. Hope this works. Keep us posted with the troubleshooting! :) | |
