Reading USB Drives

[Andy Fletcher]

HELP!! I am on an iMac using Bootcamp & I have just upgraded from Win 7 to 10. Working GREAT!
My only problem is Win 10 cannot read my 2 x WD 3Tb USB hard drives.

Error message" The parameter is incorrect". In Disk management it says the drives are active but RAW.
I have tried the same two drives on another Win 10 & Win 7 machine & they are showing as NTFS & can be read, so no fault with the drives. I have tried changing the drive names etc but no change. So why does one machine refuse to read these?

I cannot find any solution apart from reformatting the drives which I do not want to do.

And advice gratefully received.

Hi, apparently it's a driver USB driver issue on the Mac. There is a fix for newer macs but my machine was too old. Have since upgraded to new PC with no issues.
