This is for transferring from 2000t to 4000t. (haven’t tried the other way yet).
OK, here goes.
Different 64gb USB stick formatted to NTFS on Win10 pc (checked properties once complete and it is mbr).
Insert into REAR port on 2000t.
Press Media button.
Choose file to be moved.
Press Opt+ on remote.
Select Move/Copy.
Scroll up/down to USB drive and the RED Move option becomes available, then press the RED button on the remote.
After a painfully long time the file is copied to the stick.
Put the stick into the 4000t and reboot.
On the 4000t(5000t) press the blue Home button.
Recordings.
Storage.
Select the USB stick and the file is there. You can either play direct or press + and follow the procedure to move the file onto the internal hdd.
But then it gets bizarre!
After moving the file to the internal hdd, the USB stick (empty) is no longer recognised in Storage section and the file is not listed on the internal hdd.
BUT…
Home
Media/ok
Video/ok
Internal HDD/ok….
And the transfered file is there and plays.
I have just repeated the process with another recording on the 2000t > 4000t and it also worked.
Now I don’t know if it’s the different USB stick (with NTFS) or using the rear port on the 2000t that has made the difference.
I am not going to take any more chances with my 1tb USB drive (too many recordings on there I haven’t watched yet) but I suspect/hope it will work the same way.
From 4000t > 2000t and the file isn’t showing up in storage or media options at all (files already on the stick from 2000t>4000t method are still visible, so stick is working).
Tried both front and rear USB ports.
Put the stick back in 4000t and file is definitely there under the storage section.
What an absolute faff though!
At the moment it is looking like SD from 2000t > 4000t is viable, playing directly from the stick or moving onto the internal hdd both worked but not the other way.
This is where I’m up to. Bearing in mind my external hard drive is formatted as in the photos in my previous post.
My FVP is recognising my external hard drive.
There’s three recordings I’ve managed to copy to it.
The “Fairwell My Lovely” film will not play.
The other two, a part recording and a full one (in HD mind you) will.
My HDR 2000 doesn’t recognise the external hard drive if I plug it in the back.
I’ve just tried to copy another film to this hard drive from the FVP and this is what I get.
Just about to do some more testing.
But can you please clarify, are you trying to move files from the 5000t > 2000t or from 2000t > 5000t?
I’m trying to move them from the 5000T to the 2000T
The idea being that the 5000T is for daily use (it has a faster f/f function than the 2000T).
The 2000T is supposed to only contain files I permanently want to keep.
Also, just check that you are definitely NTFS/MBR.
Plug the 1tb into the Win10 machine.
Right click it and then select Properties.
Hardware tab.
Properties. (new page will open).
Volumes tab.
Click Populate and the info will be there in Partition Style.
Thanks for that, this what I get.
Where’s the tab for “populate?”

In that case, my recommendation is to use the 1tb hdd simply as a backup drive. All HD and SD files can be stored and will be playable on the original machine. SD files can be played on Win10 machine (using built-in player) if you select the drive and click on the .TS file. You may be prompted to install an additional codec, this is OK.
Click the Properties button at the bottom right and a new page will open. Populate is there.
Thanks again.
this is what I get
Just tried again with the 1tb usb hdd.
Plugged into the 2000t it is recognized but will not open at all and says that there are only two files present but absolutely no way to access either (that I can find).
Same drive in the Win10 pc and all the files are visible but only the SD are playable.
That is showing that the drive is a scsi device. Was it a cheap special/refurb?
And have you verified that it is working by swapping files on/off via the Win10 machine?
If it’s a legit branded USB hdd, there are reports of some Windows devices not recognising them correctly.
There are some possible solutions here :-
I’ve no reason to think this is a duff drive despite the fact I bought it new on eBay.It’s the second one I’ve bought, I use the first as a second back-up for a ten year-old Maxtor and that works fine.
I’ve just copied and posted the photos relating to this problem to the new drive and the transfer was immediate and I can see them OK.
Stepping back from this, it’s ridiculous that we’re having problems transferring files from two appliances manufactured by the same company.
I’m going to dump it all in Humax’s lap linking this discussion.
It’s not doing their reputation any good if people like me with limited IT knowledge should have all this bother.
