Sorry if this has been covered before but cannot find any thing the quite fits.
I've a 500GB external drive which I've formatted in FAT32. I've put about 25 video files on it mostly .mp4. When plugged into the USB3 port on the Aura, I cant find anything. In the Aura's settings it shows the drive but says the external drive is "safely been uninstalled" (or words to that effect). Any ideas please?
Thanks, Roy

Have you installed something like VLC to play the content? If you have then what partition style is the hard driver (MBR or GPT)?
Thanks Martin
I have 3 or 4 media players that I've been using up to now. To be honest it's not looking from the Humax settings that the drive is mounted, although it does know what it is. Not sure about the partition style, I formatted it in windows 10 as FAT32 and all looks ok in windows, capacity etc., is there a way to find out what it is now, disc properties maybe?

Hi Martin, looks like its MBR
I've double checked and the external drive was formatted with MBR partition table. It still Says "drive has been safely removed" in the Humax settings fir the external storage.
