[PROBLEM] Samba setup.....Idiot guide required??

Stick with Fat32. Its fast, reliable and has the best support across operating systems.

......great....not being offerred the Fat32 option with a 1 TB SSD tho'.....


P.S.    I'd like me to go away too!

OMG... yet another Windoze thing... it can read bigger Fat32 drives formatted by something else, but cannot itself format in Fat32 bigger than 32GB...
Although you could use your Pi to format the 1TB SSD, before resrting to that, give the ExFAT option a try...
