Iam trying to format the external HDD to ext2 but I dont know how. Iam using Windows XP. Also Iam trying to do torrent downloading and other downloading as well. But it seems like the instructions are for Linux? Someone help me please.
Hi,
from the thread: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=5909
connect the drive to the asus,
log in with putty, and:
Start FDisk and assign partitions.
fdisk /dev/discs/disc0/disc
Now,
create the filesystems
mke2fs -j /dev/discs/disc0/part1
mkswap /dev/discs/disc0/part2
This will allow you to format the drives and place the correct filesystem on it.
Good luck.
