Hello guys,

Sorry in advance for my bad english. I have a WD elements drive which works properly even on my TV I’ve decided to buy a second one (exactly the same) but unfortunately this one doesn’t work on my tv and I don’t know why …

My TV says that the usb is empty and why i plug the drive into the TV the folder is not opening.

Could you please help me?

Thank you!

I’d recommend double-checking the configuration of the new unit. It could be formatted differently.

They are exactely the same in their configuration. Both are formated in NTFS. I have try many things but the second driver is still unrecognized by the tv. ( the first one works on every tv i’ve tested, the second doesn’t ) =(

Maybe your drive is in GPT partition and should be in MBR. You can change this from the disk management in windows or formatting the drive with Quick Formatter.
