Just buy an external USB drive from Maplin or Argos format to FAT32 and plug it in simple enough

They use any HDD in a USB2 caddy

Hi all

Hope somone can help me out here please.

I've formated my Freecom external harddrive to fat32 with Linux OS due to Windows 7 OS having its format taken away from it!. I tried it in the Eurovox EX7000 HD+ usb slot but it would not work.
My external hardrive is a freecom toughdrive custom 250gb which has no external power supply.

Can anyone help me out please. e.g does this harddrive have a power supply i can order? could I use an external harddrive in a caddy of some type, if so would I need a power supply to that too?

Thanks

Thanks Siffion for the quick reply!

How will I be able to do this when the ex7000 HD is not detecting the harddrive at all.
I am I missing somthing in the menu? every option I do for the harddrive it just says none detected.

Thank you for your help!

Your problem appears to be the caddy. You describe the type that draws it's power from the USB connector - the EX7000 does not provide power for the caddy, it needs to be a self-powered type.

Thanks for that lincsat.

My external harddrive is not in a caddy it as its own power it draws from the PC. 6v

I have e-mailed Freecom to see if there is a power adaptor for it!

Its states you can plug an external harddrive in the ex7000 usb 2.0 and thats what I have.

Thank you for your help

As lincsat has said, you can connect external harddrives to the EX7000, but only provided that they have thier own seperate power source. As you have been told, your harddrive is attempting to draw power from the USB port on the EX7000, something the EX7000 does not supply, thus, without an externally powered HDD, you are very unlikely to rectify the problem.

I have got the power supply now for my external hard drive but it is still not working with the ex7000 hd. I rang Bubbles and they mentioned i might need software on the ex7000.

Can anyone help me out please, where I can get this from and how i am I going to flash the ex7000 hd if my harddrive is not detected.

I took an HND to be in this game!!

Thanks
