    NAS drives redesignated as Media


    Hi I have 3 or 4 NAS drives (for Back Ups and Files) Normally they are listed under "Network" but they are now listed as media devices and so I cannot open them to see files. One is a Seagate and the others are Buffalo. How can I reset them to be NAS devices please - Thanks Jean

    :)

    media drive uk

    a media drive is an external hdd that has software on it enabling you to just plug it into your tv and watch videos/play music etc

    i would suggest ebay for that sort of money tbh

    Windows 10 - NAS Drive

    I have recently purchased a 4 bay NAS drive. Whilst I can access the drive with the bundled software I can't see the drive as a network attached device in the Windows 10 file explorer. I have previously had a WD Mybook Live and an LG NAS running fine in
    Windows 7 & 8. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
