So i picked up the new LG LDA-831 DVD player over Boxing Day (the one with a USB port). It looks great and the USB port works great with regular USB flash drives, but not so much luck with my external drive. I have a Western Digital 120Gb Passport 2.5" Drive which it doesn't recognize. The drive is FAT32 as recommended, so I'm not sure if i just have to re-format and start over. The manual says that the unit only works with specific external drives......so the question is has anyone had any luck with any external drives or know of any specific ones that work???
I picked one up too, and and impressed with it. That is exactly the hard drive I was going to buy to use on it. so far I hooked up my psp which has a 4gig memory to it via the usb port and was able to play music and video on it.
