a) Does LG-388 support external devices?
b) Have you switched on the power for your HDD?
c) Is the HDD formatted in FAT mode?

I think the usb ports on dvd players support only the pen drives, u cant connect a hdd to that. But I might be wrong...

Transcend 160 GB ---> CA DVD99 USB port = works fine.

both hdds are self powered ,,,

DVDPs will not be able to run USB powered HDDs (typically), try a HDD with external power.

I m sure,ext HDD is NTFS, need to change as FAT32.
LG388 has 1.1usb as the manual says ,but can read 500gb too...

LG DV 388 has challenges reading high capacity usb portable non powered drives, better to connect a powered external drive to the usb 1.1 port and it works great, also u need to ensure that the drive is formatted in fat32 , it wont read NTFS

HDD has to be formatted from FAT to NTFC.There are 2 methods,1st one can delete all DATA on HDD.If you have backup then-

step 1.connect HDD to PC via USB> Rt click HDD icon> Format> Quick format> NTSC
If you cant see NTSC opt then
step 2.Rt click my comp> manage> Device manager> Disc drive> Rtclick on ext HDD> properties> Policies> tick Optimize performance(default opti for quick removal) Now OK & follow procedure said in step 1. remember this will erase all DATA.

Step3- without loosing DATA-

connect HDD internally(I m not sure if it supports USB formating)
To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps.

Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
In the command prompt window, type: convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs
After doing this the inbuilt utility, convert.exe will attempt to convert the drive for you.

If you do step2 (Dev manager>...>policies) you can see both Fat32 & NTFS option in format window.You need to connect HDD externally(USB) not internally.

Hi Buddy


I am currently running my LG 388 with WD 320 GB HDD (FAT 32 partition) without any problems. I just directly plug in the hdd . There is no requirement for any powered hub/gizmos etc hyeah: !
