I own a NIKKAI A99HR.I recently bought a 160gb external hard drive,loaded music and films on to it.......but my A99HR wont regonize the drive.on screen it says DEVICE NOT SUPPORT.IT will play through my usb stick.......but not my hard drive.....even though the instructions say it will???????.CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??.
What format has the drive been formatted in? NTFS or FAT? If it is NTFS it won't work, NTFS is the default format of most modern OS. You need to back up the data and re-format the drive to FAT format and copy the files back on to it.

Hello,
I can help you with this. Follow these instructions-->
Start-->Control Panel-->Administrative Tools-->Computer Management, under the Storage section select "Disk management". Locate the external harddrive, and then change the drive letter.
Select the external drive. Right click, and select "Change drive letters and paths"-->Highlight the driveletter to change-->Click the "Change" button-->From the drop-down list choose an unused drive letter, and hit Ok.
The external drive should be recognized and accessible at this point.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank You,

Buy a new drive. The beeps are coming from the hard drive and they say I'm broken. If you need to recover data, and only if you need it like life and death because it will cost a bit, send it to a data recovery company. I would search on line and look for somebody local to you for this if you need it.
As for your old drive, if you like to tinker, you may be able to remove the drive from the case and replace it with a similar sized drive with a matching interface (ide or sata). I personally like to remove the rare earth magnets from bad drives to make refrigerator magnets and toss the aluminum housing into the metal recycling barrel. It also ensure personal data is never coming off those platters.
