To use a USB flash drive with the LG 42LD550, the drive must be formatted as a FAT32 or NTFS device. The drive should be 32GB or less. Not all USB devices will be recognized - this can be a driver issue. (I've had a few devices that didn't take a USB flash drive, if the drive required a driver to run under Windows 98.) If you use an external drive (portable or desktop), keep the drive capacity to 1 TB or less.
Next what files are on the drive? This TV will only recognize JPG images, HD DivX (.avi and .divx) movies and MP3 audio files. The not all codecs may be supported with these formats. Some people report losing the ability to play movies after certain firmware updates. If the drive has too many folders or files in a folder, it may not work. (This will happen sooner with the FAT32 format.) See page 96 of the user manual to see the file format limits on the USB port. The manual is available on the TV support page: https://www.lg.com/us/support-product/lg-42LD550 . The current link to the manual is http://gscs-b2c.lge.com/downloadFile?fileId=oqXZ71Wn8YXJ3OKzy9leAw .
I hope this helps.

Try reformating the drive with FAT32 file system (this is the default facotry mode).

Dowload codec Klite pack, via Google, and open the files with that media player, the tv should then pick it up, seeing as its a multi codec reader program, Hope it helps

yes you could simply format the harddrive in Fat32 using your macos that would be the best solution but don`t forget to backup your data by copy pasting the files on your mac or something else and after that to move them on the external hdd again to be available on the windows machine
Testimonial: "It worked... I never thought it could be that easy... Thanks a lot!!!"

You need to activate it first, here are the steps:
1. Press the enter(OK) both on the remote and the TV at the same time...hold for about 5 seconds
2. Password - 0000
3. Go to tool option 3
4. Change Jpeg to 1
5. Change Divx to SD or HD
6. Exit and try it out.
You will notice that now there are 8 inputs in the option list instead of 6 - Including a USB input.
Hope this helps
