ILoveControl Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Quick Question, if I plug in a USB hard drive, the harddrive spins up can see something reading it etc etc.... So there is power etc, but in Composer HE if I select USB it says Status Unknown and if I do a SCAN it says the device is offline.... its formatted with exFat...Anyone know what I am doing wrong (I have rebooted the HC300) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 You need to add the hard drive to the system. This can't be done with Composer HE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Alan has misread your post. NAS drives cannot be added without dealer involvement however USB drives auto mount if they are using a supported file system. Unfortunately ex-fat is not. you can only use fat, fat32, ntfs and HFS. Note only FAT/FAT32 file systems are writable. NTFS is read only and i'm not quite sure about HFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveControl Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 ok cool must be the drive format. Ill try that thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveControl Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yup format to Fat32 worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scofow Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 How did you format the drive FAT32? Windows 7 only allows NTFS and exfat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 There are 3rd party FAT32 formatters which will allow you to format hdd's bigger then 40 whatever gb's. Iomega have a free one available on their website for download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 My favorite is the gparted live CD. It is a self booting LINUX CD that you can use to format drives. All self contained on a CD that you boot from, format the drive and then reboot back to whatever OS you have on your PC.http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
