The hard drive I have been using with my HW180STB suddenly stopped being recognized by the STB. However, if I connect the drive to my Windows 7 machine it works there. A couple of other devices (flash drive and another HDD) are recognized by the STB so it is a bit puzzling. It seems just these two devices no longer work together although they work separately. Anything I should try before I give up on the drive?
The drive is an old PATA in a USB 2.0/FireWire enclosure with an external power supply, 250 GB capacity, formatted NTFS. I have tried different power supply, cable, restarting the STB, etc.
The STB becomes sluggish when this particular drive is connected (takes 3-4 seconds to respond to remote control button presses)
