Don't know if this applies to you, but one of the things that some users have discovered is that formatting on a Macintosh does not seem to work, even though it appears to be successful -- needs to be a Windows machine.

After you format it, does it appear as just one drive letter containing the whole 500 Gb? If not, it may need to be re-partitioned as the stb seems to want to see just one partition.

I personally used a utility called Fat32Format.exe, but others have used SwissKnife successfully.
