I'm good at networking & sharing but have a problem.
Airport Extreme 5G
2TB Toshiba Extrenal Hard Drive
AirPort Ultility shows my device
but i cant access it, also shows this
i heard NTFS is supported, true or no? and how am i so pose to access it? \\10.0.1.1 (main) doesnt work.
have a windows, so mac wouldnt help me here
AirPort Extreme 802.11n (5th Gen), Windows 7
i heard NTFS is supported, true or no?
What you heard was not true.
FAT32 is supported, though, as well as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). See this support document to confirm:

ok, ty, right now im doing the cmd to do the fat32 and may take a day unless there's a faster way for a 2TB format fat32.
so far not sure how long but at 2%, guessing every 5-10mins for a % ithink, if not longer.
If you plan to keep the drive connected to the AirPort Extreme, format it in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Windows can read and write to this format when the drive is installed as a network drive.
Things should be much faster with the Mac format, but it will still take awhile to map the drive.
ok, problem is i dont have a mac, i might have a mac vmware on my other usb portable drive but idk if that would work. even thou it maybe slow, like to install part small partition of my laptop to run a OSX but havent found one a way yet.
And yes, this is only connected to my airport and stay there since out printer is wireless.
what im doing is, is im downloading old very old tv shows, and then reformat them into iTunes, then stream it accross our devices so i dont have to keep my lptp on, but we do have one pc that we do keep on and stream the library off there connecting to the airport.
FAT32 will work, it will just be slower.
ty, i redwnld'd my torrent bc somehow i missplace with our computers i have that had the mac vmware, all i had was the torrent lol
but anyway, after failing 2-3x bc cord got lose (and takn over 6 hrs), took me 30sec-1min for the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and now working like a charm. thx again 😀
and networking the drive took 2secs, so its fairly easy 😀 to show under Computer (My Computer -W.XP)
