icy box and EX 7000 HD

[johnny99xx]

Hiya all,

I made a bit of a mistake recently.
I bought an external harddrive by mistake.
i bought a Seagate Pipeline HD Pro Hard Disk Drive 1TG Sata.
I was advised to get a docking station and this would then USB into my EX 7000 HD box
I bought a Icy Box external enclosure for 3.5 SATA HDD

I've plugged it into my TV box and nothing happens
Please please can someone give me some advice

Thanking you all in advance
johnny

Make sure the disk is formatted to FAT32 otherwise Eurovox will not recognise it. You can use Swiss Knife (free) to format the disk

mate,
i've read that loads of times but when i plug the icy box into my pc, it says it recognises the hardwear but i don't know how to do this, I don't seem to be able to open the harddrive on my pc, also i believe the hard drive i bought is already formatted to FAT 32
does anyone have any experiance of using this type of harddrive with an icybox?

sorry if I sounded a bit snappy there mate, I thought i wasted my cash on the wrong product, I didn't think I had to use swiss knife, just did and alls sound
thanks mate
