Your HD is new one?
You have to format the HD on your pc to fat32(go to Windows explorer and find the drive should be letter e:-f: click with the right buttom and click format and a box with select box will show up.Select FAT32 on file system and press start.)
After all the plug the HD on your receiver and format it again.
Should work like that.
