    Hello, I have zidoo Z9s with the latest firmware and I have HDD 4TB Wester Digital Purple and is not recognized by Zidoo, I have tried the sata 3.0 connection and external box with usb 2.0 and 3.0 without success.

    What should I do?

    Hello, yes, it's new, I didn't create a GPT, it's formatted in NTFS.

    Thanks.

    NTFS is ok.

    GPT is a partition style that you must use with your HDD when you use it in a media player like a Zidoo (vs MBR that we usually use to install Windows). Usually, I have to use Windows Disk Management to create a simple volume on my new HDDs (it will be formated during the procedure) to be recognized in Windows or in my Zidoo.


    Maybe try to format the HDD to see if it helps.

    I have 3 discs and only this one have problems. With GPT when connecting to the PC to load the films will the PC recognize the HDD? How do I format the HDD with GPT?

    Thanks.

    You have to format the disc with Virtual. Manager for your computer you give the right client opens the device manager opened the disk manager after you make the disc formatting you choose MBR or GTP more choosing the GTP

    NTFS can be formated in GPT or in MBR system. If Zidoo cannot recognize GPT, you must change it in Windows. Formating is done after this.

    I think it is a hdd defect and I put several discs and everything is fine.
