InactiveI have succssfully copied a TV and a Radio recording from the 2000T to an NTFS external drive and played them back
Page 32 of the User’s Manual states that external NTFS USB file systems are for read only of MP3, JPEG and XviD.
I have 2 NTFS HDD and 1 NTFS flash. All 3 drives can be used to make a copy from the 2000T and the Digital TV/Radio recording played back from the device.

What is the capacity of the drives you have tried?

I want to connect a HD to my humax box
Which Humax box do you have?
The HDR-FOX has in very small writing on the left of the front panel ‘HDR-FOX T2’ just to the left of ‘Humax’, and there is a protective flap over the front USB port.
The HDR-2000T has ‘Humax ‘ on the right of the front panel, and does not have a protective flap over the front USB port.

With the standard firmware a HDR FOX T2 will read NTFS volumes but not write to them. The Custom Firmware add on allows write operations to NTFS and also lets you copy files directly to a PC.
Post 1 in this thread indicates the newer HDR-2000T now allows write operations with NTFS partitions.

InactiveI have a HDR FOX T2- the HD drives I tried were both 2TB one was self powered and the other powered from the box-they both showed up but couldn’t copy to them. My box is now starting to play up and show a dark green screen- this seems to go away when TV and box are powered down….HELP

Are the drives NTFS formatted? The HDR-FOX T2 will read from NTFS drives but will not write to them. Your options are to format the drives as Linux EXT2/EXT3 file system or format the file system as Windows FAT32 but that will limit the maximum file size to 4GB or install the custom firmware which has a package to allow writing to NTFS formatted drives.

Inactivethe drives were NTFS formated and only 4gb seems small, the custom firmware where do I get it and how do I install it…..once its installed can I then write back to any HD attached?

Head over to Link to Custom Firmware Wiki and start reading. Once you have installed the basic custom firmware then you need to install the NTFS 3g package. It will allow you to write to drives formatted with NTFS, EXT2/3, FAT32.
