Still Can NOT record on my T1 ?!! :(

[crazed 9.6]

try formatting with a format tool, like swissknife

windows or a receiver do not format large size drives that well.

Thanks crazed for the info, but to get swissknife I gotta pay $9.99 to get the premium? where can I get it for free?
also, once formatted the drive, when I press the red button, am I supposed to see a msg on TV saying "recording started" or how would I know its recording ?!
thanks

Either a message or a red dot appears in the corner of the screen. I do not remember which but you should see something, yes.

I will take a look at where that free version is

is exFAT format same as FAT32?

[crazed 9.6]

try this version.
Scan the download before installing, to ensure is is not a risk.
Or have trust in the website

exFAT was introduced with the Windows Vista SP1 operating systems.
It works and replaced FAT32 as a tool for the OS
But for formatting, I guess it depends on the drive .
exFAT was never intended to format hard drives, or flash memory

I would go with FAT32

Thanks a lot crazed but it says it has compatibilty issues with my Windows 7
I did find another format tool called "EaseUS Partition Master" and formatted the drive to FAT32 but still I don't see a red button showing anywhere on the screen when I press the red recording button ?!!

does the T1 see the external hard-drive at all ?

[montell]

yes, when I go to settings and android and storage ....the drive is there and actually when I pressed the red button and held it fr few seconds it took a screen shot of the tv screen....but recorded nothing ?!

[crazed 9.6]

is that drive set as default drive ?

Setting>Android>scroll down to make storage default> find the external drive
