I usually unplug the HD. I also have one WD media player that the HD stays on and another WD media player (older one) that the power to the HD gpes off with the player. Different manufacturers have different peculiarities but the incrediSonic is one of my favorite. I have 3 different brands. WD's media players has 2 usb ports for 2 HD's at the same time

Not sure about your first question, since I always start manually. But regarding the second, is it possible you haven't "connected" the recorder-- that is, clicked on "USB" in the main menu of File Manager Software and then clicked on "Connect Recorder"?

I just talked to the Technical Support at Time Warner and the person told me that the problem is not with the box, but with the softward, Mystro that they are switching all their customers to. He said that they are aware of the problem and are trying to fix the software. Is this just pure BS? Shold I keep the external drive in case they fix the problem - in a few weeks, he says!?

I need to swap the print circuit board, since PC cannot detect this drive any more. I have tons of data on this drive that needs retrieval. So I placed another order again. Hope I will get exact model as I bought in Nov, 2010. The model I received last time is also WD20EARS-00MVWB0. Can someone report what's their model number now, if they bought it recently? Thank you. I will report mine once I get it on Monday.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I can get the menu to display (the DMPort menu), but no video or pictures.Interested in any feedback from anyone who has tried this.

I have the 256 model, same drive. I use it as a bootable backup drive. It works. It's a little sluggish compared to a firewire connection.

Actually there is a limit. From page 63 of the user's manual "This unit can recognize a total of 9999 (a maximum of 999 files per folder)." Although my entire mp3 collection tops out at around 7500 folders & around 375gb. Appreciate the response though. I'm upset they couldn't have done something about the file limit on last year's models, as it was the same for 3 model years.

Well, a USB back up? SO you have turned it into a external hard drive? If so it most likley just needs to be configured into what you want it to do. Odd though, never had this problem with any hard drive I have ever worked with or bought.

Yes, no problem. When the screen "asks" you for the location to be backed up enter that external drive letter.

I have purchased several of these devices, but have not opened any. Dont know if its worth the risk. Purchased a Tripe Mate Elite by HooToo, which is a wireless router that lets you connect an external hard drive (>1TB), do pass thrus, etc. Check this device in Amazon and read reviews. Cost was pretty minimal ±$40. Then you can have several HD's and used the one you want. Need to check the movie whether MP4, or what, has some limitations.

I am a little technically challenged but if I buy the small ACER mini laptop and purchase an ecternal drive, which sounds like you connect with a usb cable, can I take this external drive with me on trips and watch DVDs or is this external drive large and not portable, which would defeat my purpose of carrying a mini laptop. Please help!

I've updated the firmware to the latest version (something of a comedy of errors), and I find that it just doesn't handle PDF files very well. The second problem can be sidestepped if you can reformat your PDF documents with larger margins. Not ideal, I know. I haven't encountered the first problem yet. Updating the firmware may be a solution for you on that. (I didn't try any PDF files until after updating.)

I have been loking around for an external drive, and I've noticed they all fail! IMO the best way to gois to have 2 of the drives and do a periodic copy of each to each. I have a free agent on my mac and it has been working perfectly, but I am looking for a drive to back up between a PC and a mac. Two cheap drives may be more reliable than a single more expensive, since they all fail and you cant "pay out" of the uncertainty. Change that: Buy two expensive hard drives and dont even fool with the Seagates..

I have an 8gb in mine now. It works fine. I haven't tried folders or directories. I do plug my mp3 player into it for audio books. Sorry. It's great for long trips. I listen to old time radio programs and it makes my 6 hour commute very easy.

You need to format the drive before use. So if you have some files on it, you will lose that. Beware!!!!!

I have the same problem. I also have not found a solution. I get a delayed write error and then all the folders etc are empty. I have searched for days for a solution (on mine, the contents ARE still there but aren't shown and can't be accessed unless there is a short cut on my desktop). If someone knows what to do, please help.
