Loading Bins into Max HD - ABA DSS

JJevans · October 21st, 2008

I am using my trusty Cruzer 4gb USB drive but I tried plugging it into the Max using the front USB port(It is chosen in the menu) but it wont see the drive. I tried to Format using the menu but I tried doing it "Fat 32" and Ext2 but it always says Format failed. I also tried turning it off and then on again to see if it would see it but nothing. What gives?

clean the thumb drive then try to format

Never mind. I got it. Looks like the Max HD can't read a 4gig USB drive for upgrades. I dug up an old Micro SD card I use to use for my 3500SD and USB adapter formatted it and it was reconized quikly. Thanks

thanks for letting us know you got it

i think cuz fat32 is supposed to be formated under 4gb

JJevans · October 22nd, 2008

it was under 4gb. I think the Cruzer had some auto start programs on it that I could not completely remove.

yeah i think the thumb drives with auto start programs on them the fta boxes will not recognize but i'm not 100% sure

I've always recomended to all my buds ...(if original needs replaced)...to use the Smallest usb drive or sd card they have...128mb 256mb they seem to work better.

My Cruzer 4GB works well with this unit. I removed the auto start program on it, formatted again & it played well with uncle Max.

I think your right about the auto crap. I must remove it!

I just did that and got no dice, I push the format in the USB menu and it says format failed. My box is not reading my 1gb usb flash either and its saying no data found when I try anyone got any ideas? Thanks

put thumb drive in pc and erase everything off of it
if it has an autostart program on it i don't think your box will read it

I got it to recognize file with a non cruzer (PNY 1GB) $10 at Walmart and it took it fine must have corrupted old one. Thanks for everyones input now lets watch some TV.

The scandisk cruzer has a U3 component attached to it and that is not compatable to Vs stbs. If you go to the Scandisk website, they will guide you through the removal process and you can use it on your Box.

"bin der, done dat".
