If you are writing about a portable USB drive Disk2, then it is empty. You need to create a partition and give the appropriate file system.

I was interested in transfering files from my hone (Nexus s 4g) and my A500. I wanted to know if this is possible by simply plugging the phone into the tablet's usb port. If not, is there any drivers or apps i can download to let me do so? Basically, i want it to be like when i plug it into my computer. I want it to show up like a hard drive.
Also, i have a external harddrive and had a question on how to format it. When i right click hit format is comes up as NTFS being the default file system. The onl y other option is exFat. Is that the same as Fat32? I've heard Fat32 is the only file system that works.
Thanks for the help!

Hi
How do I connect an exernal hard drive to Acer A500 and can see and use the content of the hard drive ?
tsand
Hi,
All i've needed to do is connect via USB and then use my file explorer (ES file explorer) to navigate to mnt, then select USB storage. If you use Astro, it should show as USB storage at the left of the screen.

You'll just need to make sure the external HD is FAT or FAT32 formatted. Stock A500 won't see NTFS drives...

And if you have an NTFS formatted drive, you can get Drive Mount from the Market free.
Funny really, when I had stock rom on it recognised the NTFS drive straight away. Didn't need drive mount... It was 4.031.26, HC 3.2...
Not sure where it came from, I'm in Oz but I got a refurb off Ebay...

Yeah, I know. It's hit and miss. Drives me crazy sometimes. 1 stock rom needs it, where the other doesn't (3.2). Flash a cooked kernel, it see's it, flash another version of the same kernel, it doesn't see it. Last night flashed Drellisde's new version of his kernel, and it works again! Go figure.....
Bottom line, if it don't mount your NTFS, use Drive Mount, pretty simple really.

Hi! Same problem here and couldn't figure out what it was until seeing this thread.
Stock my external drive was recognized right away, but now 3 roms in, all of a sudden it is not!
Thanks for the help guys I'll look up drive mount again.

Thanks buddy - was going a little bonkers trying to find the directory for the USB!
Hello all.
I have a quick question about using an external hard drive with my nexus 10. I bought a Fantom Drives desktop style external (with power adapter) to use with my macbook air, my girlfriends win7 laptop, and my nexus 10. I prepped the tablet by rooting it and installing StickMount because I read that was the only way to write to usb storage.
When I plug up the external with my usbOTG cable, it recognizes it and it shows up in Androzip, but none of the files that I put on it from windows show up, and also it will not let me write to it from the tablet either. When I try to write to it (a very small photo), it says "Could not move folder due to system restrictions". I have tried reading and writing to the drive from the tablet with it formatted in NTFS and also with it formatted in exFAT.
Am I just out of luck and the drive will not work with my nexus, or are there any other troubleshooting options I can try? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately wont FAT32 cap at 4gb? Also, forgive my ignorance but what can I do to format it in FAT32 because my only format options in windows were exFAT and NTFS.
Thanks for the reply!

got it to work!! used the Verbatim fat32 format tool. It recognizes all 2 terabytes of space and reads and writes on the nexus 10. Thanks so much for the help!! Very pleased to be able to use my new external with the tablet. Now I just have to play the waiting game for my new Macbook Air to show up

Nothing at all! The downside of fat32 is that indeed there is a limit for the size of an individual file. You can't write files bigger than 4gb. Also if you try a custom kernel with ntfs support you will be able to read from ntfs but not surely write..!

You can sometimes do NTFS-write. It's not unheard of. The downsides of FAT32 are also a lot worse than what you described: it's significantly more prone to corruption and doesn't handle unexpected ejections nearly as well because it's not journalled, and has no support at all for permissions. But for performance and convenience reasons, it really can't be beat at the moment.

I can write and read with my note 2. However i tried with stock kernel ntfs and nothing happens. I think that in terms of speed ntfs is also faster.

Should have clarified. It's a kernel support thing.

There should not be any problem. Update drivers, restart your PC and try again.

But I'm using mac and i can't send any large files.
I think it depends on the format of your device. Fat32 or other Fat formats can't transfer files over 4gb. The NTFS format can though.

If you don't know the answer, you do much more harm than good by answering.

it's basically a small cable that on one end goes into your phone & on the other end, it has a USB port to connect anything that uses USB like in computers, laptops etc. So thanks to this, you can copy the ROM file(s) onto a USB flashdrive & connect it to the phone through the OTG cable
