WDTV Live Hub - Stuck on “Connecting to USB Storage” - All media missing - Pls help!!!

WD light at the front keeps blinking, all media is seemingly gone yet the Netflix and Pandora work just fine…

At the top of the screen it says “Connecting to the USB storage…” and its just stuck like Chuck.

Any tips?

Nothing is in either of the two USB ports?

Disconnect all external HDDs,

do factory reset,

connect external HDDs.

You could also check your external HDDs on PC.

Unplug Hub for few minutes, start again go to Video for example only one partition will appear press red button than use other media you will all data on the USB

I had to format my USB HDD … in the end I decided there must be some quirk with the format, it was reporting FAT32 but it had never been formatted since it was manufactured. I deleted the partition, re-created it and formatted it with FAT32 using GParted on a Linux machine and then the WDTV could read it fine. Seems the current firmware might be a bit fussy about partition format.
