I'm having some trouble with the atv seeing my external hard drive. I've used the smart installer to install the files and the drive powers up. I can't seem to get the atv to find the drive. I've tried Fat32 and the hfs format. Any suggestions


Firmware 2.2

Already tried it, the disk is not detected.

Then SmartInstaller failed and you need to redo those steps and read the SmartInstaller log for errors.

I redid the steps and the log said the files were already installed and patched.

I suggest bringing it up on http://forum.awkwardtv.org/viewforum.php?f=8, NitoTV is written by Nito (also known as |bile| on irc). Any issues should be brought to his attention.
