ive just got a external hard drive ive formatted it to fat32 when i put it on the eurovox it wont see it need help

[squeezy]

[ruudvandan]

make when you format it you set the partition to active

[samlen27]

the partition is active my pc see it no probs and the eurovox wont see it at all

[dwl]

How big is the drive? I think there is a size limit! but i cant remember how big!!

Someone else will chip in (I hope)!!!

[samlen27]

the hdd is only 120gb

Many people are using HD's with alot more memory than that, I myself have 500GB and some have 1TB so its not to do with the size of your Hard Drive.

the box sees my memory stick no problems at all but with my hard drive wont have any of it,ive tried putting the same settings as my memory stick and no luck ive tried everything have i got a faulty hard drive or something wrong with my eurovox im stuck

[Delboy07]

And youre sure its fat32. Can you record on the stick?
If you've got other stuff on you're hard drive try deleting them.
I remember someone had a post on here saying he created a folder on the HD named 'records' and it worked for him.

Oops! I just disconnected my hard drive whilst it was recording. After this the hard drive was not recognised by the box. Erased all data and now it is recognised at times but at other times it thinks usb is not attached. I have done factory reset on my box now and hope problem get solved

[Delboy07]

Yep that seems to have sorted it out. No problems since factory reset

[samlen27]

ok thanks will give it a try dont know what else to do with it

[topdogtrades]

i have exactly the same problem!! fine with stick, wont see 500gb drive at all!!! only got the box yesterday - if i do a system reset will i have to retune?

[topdogtrades]

sorted !!! my pc wouldnt format properly to fat32 as i am on Vista and i have a 500gb drive - it will only format it to NTFS due to its size (its a WD drive sold in NTFS.) So i downloaded this little app which allowed me to convert the big hard drive properly to fat32 and all done - the ex7000 loves the drive now!! are you sure you have properly got your drive formatted to fat32 samlen??

[samlen27]

will try formatting with that program and do a factory reset and try that
