My Pi is running OpenELEC from a USB 3.0 stick connected directly to the pi.
I have a USB hub plugged into the other USB slot, with a external hard drive plugged into that. The drive has its own power source and the hard drive is spinning - and works perfectly fine on my PC. The Pi is not detecting the hard drive. I am able to select the 3.0 boot drive as a media source, but not the external drive.
My drive is currently formatted as NTFS. Is that the issue? I am partitioning part of the drive as FAT32 to test that, but it won't be until tonight that I can try it. In the meantime I thought I would bounce some ideas off of everyone since I also read that you may have to add a .sh file to the SD card that mounts the drive at bootup?
Thanks for any help.
