This is my new toy a HDD Media Player with a 500gb hard drive, got it last week, sort of birthday present.
I was so excited to get it I didn’t think about having to set it up, which of course if you know anything about how these things go didn’t exactly go to plan.
Firstly I had to format the hard drive(which was bought separately)then install it in the media player then get Windows to find it, simple.
So 2 days later when I finally got the damn thing to work with Windows,
I thought I was sorted but oh no plugged it into the tv and got a message saying no media detected, many expletives later after taking it apart(I also played with the jumper switches) I realised what had happened in the process of attaching the IDE cable to the hard drive I had pulled it loose from the bit that fits to the media player!
Have I mentioned I am an Idiot, one day I’ll learn, one day.
Having got it to work now I love it, even treated it to some nice shiny new Creative I-Trigue 3330 speakers, would have got some Logitech ones to match the other ones I’ve got but, fell in love with the shape of them, they sound rather good too.
