Airport disk don't show up but show up in airport utility

I recently got a Second Generation Airport Extreme. Hoping to share hard drive that I plug via USB to the back of the unit.

Using Window 7, I downloaded the Airport Utility. On the Airport Utility>manual setup>disk, I can see my Seagate desktop Hard drive showing as a disk.

But the problem is there is no disk showing on the Airport Base Station Agent/Airport Disk Preferences. I tried the other two methods described in the apple instruction:

AirPort: How to mount an AirPort Extreme USB hard disk volume in Mac OS X and Windows - Apple Support


and still not able to connect.

Can someone point me to the right direction as to where the problem is and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Airport Extreme (2nd Gen)-OTHER, Windows 7

Hopefully this might help you and I:


I appear to have nearly the exact same predicament as you. From what I have read in the last couple of days, the non Mac format of the Windows hard disk is the problem, though I have not been able to reach a satisfactory conculsion on that yet.


If the disk format is the problem, can a Windows disk be formatted to be useable by Mac and Windows?
