External SSD (HP P500) won't work on host after opening on Ubuntu guest

Post by ambientfreak »

I opened my eternal SSD that I've previously only used on my Windows host on the Ubuntu guest to transfer some large files. Now it won't work on my Windows host: it says I need to format the disk to use it. I can still open it and use it on Ubuntu guest. I'd appreciate any help.

Getting this error when the guest is shut down. Have tried another Windows machine to no avail.
