   Is the partitioning scheme MBR or GPT? If you want to be able to write to the NTFS drives then you could install the custom firmware for the HDR-FOX T2.

   Plug the USB drive you want to check into the laptop. In the search box at the lower left of the screen type "disk management". The disk management app should open. In the lower panel of the display, right click on the appropriate Disk x for the USB stick where x is a number stating from 0. If there is only one hard drive in your laptop then I would expect the USB stick might be Drive 1 (in my case with two SSD drives, the USB stick is Drive 2). NB right click on the actual word "Drive x" on a light grey background rather than the areas with a white background, select Properties and then Volumes and you should see a line showing the partition style. See attached image.

   ok thanks
   its GPT.

   Which explains why it is not recognised. The free version of EaseUS Partition Master may be able to change it to MBR without losing any data; see https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/epm-free.html

   thanks.

   its now working .

   however i did have a usb set to MBR which would not work .

   the ones that do work were reformatted to non indexed and default allocation size .

   so the latter points may be relevant also .

    I take it this was an NTFS formatted drive that didn't work? Interesting observation about allocation size. The other possibility is that the drive that doesn't work uses an uncommon chipset that isn't supported by the Hummax kernel.
