I formatted my 3T Segate external drive in my Humax 1000T.I can transfer files to the drive. But when i connect the drive to Windows i cant see the files. The drive isn’t in explorer however it is in disk manager. How can i view the drive?
Windows can’t natively read Linux EXT3 drives. You either need to boot your PC into linux (You can download a linux image to a usb stick), or use a Linux FS driver for windows.
Those Linux drivers seem to be a bit complicated to install. I could install Ubuntu on a spare drive and then i can see the other drive.
Why aren’t the flash drives affected?

Presumably because the flash drives are formatted FAT32. a file system that windows understands.
You don’t need Ubuntu on a spare drive. Ubuntu is a version of Linux. You need to boot your PC into Linux instead of Windows to read the hard disk the Humax formatted.
You can boot using a usb stick or DVD if you set your computer bios to allow booting from these devices.
What about if i format my drive into Fat32. Will this be recognized by the Humax if i do that.
grahamlthompson Thank you for your help too.

Yes – but you are restricted to files 1 byte smaller than 4GB. If that’s not an issue it should work.
I am recording a tv series and when i trim it down and cut out ads most of the files are 1.31GB or less. So it would suit me fine to use Fat32. The only problem is the formatting process takes a long time.

Not familiar with your specific box. No reason why you shouldn’t format the hard disk NTSC on a PC and transfer the episodes using a usb stick. Some of the UK available boxes will let you copy the files directly to a PC using Samba or FTP which is a lot more convenient. Is there anything in the box menus that mentions a Samba or FTP server ?
I just discovered this Barry. I have samba operating and folders on the desktop. I assume the download folder is for transferring media from the PC to Humax?
The download file didn’t work. So how do i transfer files back to Humax do i have to use a FTP client?

Yes you can use FileZilla or similar, transfer the files to the download folder.
