I have an Audiosonic full hd player mp605h it will play 8g and 16 gig sticks but when I put a western digital 250 gig ,or a Samsung 2 tb eternal hard drives in it doesn't recognise them can anyone help.

SOURCE: External hard drive disk space

WD drives file system type is FAT32 by default. FAT32 has a limitation that you cannot transfer a file more than 4gigs. Backup all your data from your WD drive. Format the WD drive to NTFS file system.

SOURCE: only 32 gb of 250 gb hard drive is reconized

Hey,

If you look at the jumper settings on the drive, they are near the power connector and data cable, then look at the jumper info on top of the drive. I think the jumpers are set to limit space 32GB.

Adjust the jumpers.
Let me know if you need anything else.


Thanks,
Ekse

Windows XP does not have built in SATA drivers. You will need to download the XP drivers from Western Digital's website and install before the computer will allow you to format and use your new drive. Hope this helps.

HOW TO BYPASS THE CRAPPY SOFTWARE
---------------------------------------------
1. Install WD Smartware and update it.
2. Run Virtual CD (VCD) Manager at http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/?family=wdsmartwareutilities
to remove the virtual CD drive.
3. Use Control Panel add/remove programs to uninstall WD Smartware.
4. Everytime When you plug the hard drive in Windows will come up with the look for drivers window hit 'Cancel'
5. Now use it as an ordinary hard drive!

SOURCE: Dear Sir/ Madam, I have TWO Western Digital USB

first of all , you are looking at the wrong voltages. The important voltage is the DC OUTPUT, which is the voltage the external harddrives use AND the polarity of the plug attached to the harddrive end of the cable.
if both the harddrives have say 12v dc output and both have the insignia of the center conductor being + (posative) then you can interchange them. and you CAN run a 9volt unit with 12volt DC power, but not the other way around.
Look at your power adaptors again for the OUTPUT and polarity.
should be a half-circle with lines depicting the polarity(+,-) of the center and sheild connections to the hard drives printed on both the harddrives and the power adaptors . This can also be tested with a dc volt meter while the adaptors are plugged into the wall.
DO NOT try to test the AC end while plugged in!!
