My old maxtor is IDE and the new wd 2tb green is sata. It appears this problem only occurs when (ironically) you’re using 2 westerndigital products juding by the other issues people are having.ĭon’t know if it matters but the enclosure is IDE/SATA to usb2.0. If I stick my oooold, Maxtor 160gb drive back in the enclosure, it detects it every time no problem. I have tried all the combinations of what to power up first, I have formatted/partitioned the drive a bunch of times, nothing else works. As soon as the power goes off, you are going to have to reset the settings all over again when you turn it back on. Now, the ONLY way to get my WDTVLive to detect it is to reset the factory settings each and every time the power is turned on. I recently upgraded the drive in my external enclosure to a WD 2TB Green drive.
WESTERN DIGITAL MY BOOK ESSENTIAL 1TB MBR UPDATE
If firmware update is this unreliable, there should be an option to go back to previous version and not leave me stuck with a useless device. So pretty much the player is an expensive paper weight right now. I only use this player to play content off my USB drive. Neither of the 2 ports will detect the drive. If you only have one copy of your data, that data is at risk Back it up safely and securely with this Western Digital My Book Essential 1 TB External Hard Drive This WD10000H1U-00 external storage device will meet your storage needs with 1 TB of storage capacity in a compact and heat-resistant enclosure.
No new files was added weeks before the update and none after. Haven’t removed the drive from the player USB port for about 4 months now. The drive was plugged in when the firmware was updated. All I had to do was power on the player and it would detect my drive automatically everytime. * No other USB device plugged to the player. Also copied thru network when connected to the WD TV Live player. * Copied files to drive using Windows 7 when drive is plugged directly into USB. Probably over a 1000 files organized in directories. Formated NTFS using Windows 7 Home Preminum about 6 months ago.Ĭontent: DVD ISO files of home movies ( 3 to 4 GB each), JPEG, AVI.
