Using USB hdd for recording

[BadBlake]

I have a Western Digital 250GB USB hdd but can't get it to record on my UNO. I'm using openpli 3.

I plugged it in to the usb on the back of the Uno, restarted (more than once by the way), then -MENU/SETUP/RECORDING PATHS/ -changed recording path to /media (could not see USB).

I tried timer recording(no result), and direct record by pressing the red button and I got a message saying that no hdd is installed.

My hdd is fat32.

So what am I doing wrong?

usb flash memory works?

Some usb powered drives never work where as drives powered by external power supply or powered usb hubs always seem to work.

Id device manager seeing the HDD ?

Yes it does-have already taken a few backups with it, so it works fine.

My drive has external power and I can see it in device manager in TSpanel, but not in menu/setup/system settings/hard drive/ recording paths/default movie location. There I can only choose /media.

Youll need to mount it in device manger of the image not the tspanel
