Why doesn't my WD Elements HD work on the WD TV Mini Media Player?

why doesn’t my WD Elements HD work on the WD TV Mini Media Player?

I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work, I plug it in and it says, please plug in a USB device…

PLEASE HELP…

thanks

Probably because the drive is formatted with the Advanced Partitioning from WD, and the MINI doesn’t support that.
