Can you copy files from attached USB drives and paste them to an internal HD?

Great media player, but sorry to say that you can not copy any files to the internal hard drive once you install it. The fact that you have to add the files to the hard drive before installation makes this feature pretty much useless.

Yes you can. Any attached USB device shows up as a folder named according to the name of the thumb drive or external HDD you plug in. You can simply double click to open and do whatever you desire to. Thanks.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

Go to my files and copy the files from the external usb and paste to another place like your sd card or internal memory.

Is there any software on the internal memory that will be erased if I format the drive?

You can simply put a FAT32 partition on your drive and do it that way. You can do that in windows without downloading anything.

I would think that you could not do this with the device by itself. Since it copies sector to sector, even if you have less than 250GB on the source drive, some sectors near the end may be used. You could, however, use the USB3 connector to attach both drives and copy files from one drive to the other. Not as fast, but doable. HTH, Jeff

Hi jiMMyoNewAy, yes, you can copy files from the internal memory to a memory using the Copy option in the Menu. Thanks_Mitch

no. and the drive is custom built from wd with all connectors on the drive. you cannot take out the drive inside it and use as internal drive on your computer.

Never tried that... But I don't see why not. It's probably easier for you to just copy it to a USB drive, no?

Yes and No...Yes; only if the external drive is a "bare drive" (not in an enclosure)...No; if the hard drive is enclosed in a case.

Yes, so long as the cloning software you are using supports USB 2.0/3.0 or eSata attached drives.

yes. I specifically used Casper to clone my internal 500gb hdd to the external 2tb hdd and then I replaced the 500gb with the 2tb and the process went smoothly. Now I turned the old 500gb into a new external drive.

Yes. But its a lot of data and it takes a while to copy to the local drives.

That's exactly how I'm using the drive. I do a scheduled backup of changes to specific dirs to the drive using USB.

Yes & No. For internal you need a 2.5" drive. If you put in an enclosure (like I did) you can attach via firewire or USB and will work just fine.

I think the.usb is only for backing up or downloading videos. It requires an internal hard drive
