Time Capsule reads portable hard drive as blank
Hello,
I have a Time Capsule and a Buffalo portable hard drive (which is powered by USB only). When I plug the portable hard drive into the USB port on the Time Capsule, I can connect to the portable drive, i.e., I can see my drive's name and free space; however, I cannot see the files and directories on my portable drive. Furthermore, I can connect to the Time Capsule's internal drive fine, and the Time Capsule USB port functions fine when my printer is plugged in. I have read about Time Capsule not being able to recognise external drives if they are powered by USB only, but this does not seem to be the problem as I can see my portable drive's name and free space. Any suggestions on the cause and solution? I am using the latest versions of Lion and Time Capsule firmware.
Thanks.
