Guest MMH Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Hi. I have a new Vega and have updated it with the R8 ROM. When I put my 8gig pendrive into the USB port, it reads it fine. When I connect my WD 1TB external hard drive, it doesn't show. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Thank you in anticipation.

Firstly i assume it is formatted to ntfs....which was the same with mine. Format it to fat32. Secondly they take ages to read Also you have changed usb mode to host havent you?
Guest slayer201277 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Plus 32 views and noone was willing to help a newbie....for shame :-)
Guest IanTurner Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Hadn't created an account until just now :D Should already be in host mode since the OP had no problem with a flash drive. I'd second the suggestion that the drive is formatted as NTFS though before recommending reformating to FAT32 I'd query what was on the drive and if it includes any particularly large video files in excess of 4GB as that is the FAT32 limit.
Guest MMH Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Well, it does seem that my hard drive is not fomatted for my vega and yes, some of the files are quite large. SLAYER201277 and Ian Turner, thank you for your advice. Edited June 2, 2011 by MMH
