I was follow the instruction but got no luck to me
windows cannot read my HDD from Q10 pro
( I try this HDD direct connect SATA to my computer is OK )
Try connecting every up (HDD in Q10 Pro, USB cable between PC and Q10 Pro), letting PC boot up, and then finally powering up Q10 Pro.
The linked format method is not necessary, really any drive formatted GPT/NTFS should work.
In Windows drive managment, is there a drive info screen that you could post a screengrab of? So I can see how the drive is formatted.
