thanks.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I couldn't add an additional skin (Horizonz, FTW!). WinSCP just wouldn't let me create a folder or file! To correct this, open up PuTTY and type:
sudo mount -uw /
hit enter, then type:
touch /.readwrite
and hit enter again. This will allow you to transfer files over to the AppleTV.
Thanks again for the help, Lumpsack! You da man!
pooh Wrote:ok, little update on my 'USB enabling' venture.
It tuned out that USB WAS enabled, but NTFS (My USB disk was NTFS formatted) is NOT supported by default..... Hence the HD not showing up on my ATV....
I'v erased and reformated the disk from within the ATV on the console (USB disk connected) with:
sudo diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk1 1 JournaledHFS+ USB 149G
1. /dev/disk1 = my usb disk as shown by the command 'diskutil list'
2. '1' = partition the disk as 1 big partition
3. JournaledHFS+ = MAC filesystem
4. USB = Disklabel name
5. 149G how big the partition should be
et voila! All of a sudden the USB disk appears on my ATV/XBMC etc..
Output of 'diskutil list' now shows:
/dev/disk1
#: type name size identifier
0: GUID_partition_scheme *149.1 GB disk1
1: EFI 34.0 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS USB 149.0 GB disk1s2
Thanks,
