Does the X6 Pro recognise a 250Gb FAT32 Western Digital external hard drive? Model WD2500ME-OO Got over 100 movies plus thousands of pics on it and don't want to reformat it. Trawled all over Zidoo FAQ's and forum posts and cant find answer. Tried to mount USB in the X6 Pro settings but to no avail. The pop-up box to open device does appear when I connect to the box but when I click "open" there is nothing visible. My other box (MX Pro) reads the external hard drive with no problems. Anyone suggest anything to help out please?
