  Hi FAH300,

  If you are not able to format the drive, there may be a hardware problem.

  I suggest formatting the disk using the instructions linked by wb2001.

  Hello:

  Looking at your other posts it seems that you have yourself painted in a corner.

  Since there is no inheritance or the setting USB auto in the BIOS, your only option would be to remove the hard drive, then put it in a USB drive enclosure sata hard laptop, plug in another PC so it can be read, download the drivers there, you need and copy to you user profile on the hard drive removed.

  Chapter 5 maintenance manual provides the procedures of withdrawal and replacement for the hard drive.

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03733656

  Reinstall the hard drive, run the drivers, and you should be good to go.

  These would be the drivers you need for your model...

  Hi Nate53,

  ·         You have the latest drivers installed for the computer?

  ·         Have you tried to connect the player to different ports on the same computer?

  a. click the Start button and then right click on my computer. Click on properties.

  b. click on the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager. Expand the Bus USB controllers section by clicking on the sign «+»

  c. each of the devices under the USB controller section uninstall by right-clicking on each one, then click on uninstall.

  d. close Device Manager, and then restart your computer. Windows XP re - automatically installs the USB controllers in your computer, so you don't have to do anything further. Your computer is now running properly USB devices.

   

  Method 2: Log on to the manufacturer's Web site and update the latest chipset drivers and other updates to the device driver.

  I have a drive hard toshiba 3.0,.
  My samsung TV to the beginning to 'read' my hard drive, but then the TV does not recognize and I so format, losing my saved videos!
