I have 2 different models of LG DVD/Bluray players that play media from USB. I have been using a couple of Samsung 2TB drives on blacx docks (NTFS formatted) and the LG players recognize them just fine and play my media just fine.
I decided to upgrade to a 3TB drive (Toshiba Canvio 3TB from BestBuy). I stripped all the bloatware and hidden files and there doesn't appear to be any hidden software running or booting. It is pre-formatted with NTFS.
As far as I can tell, there is no difference between the 2TB and 3TB drive.
And yet, the LG players aren't even seeing the 3TB drive.
I have read in the past that Western Digital 3TB drives have some sort of advanced formatting. How can I tell if there is advanced formatting? Is this for all 3TB drives including Toshiba? Is that why the DVD players aren't recognizing my 3TB drive?
Should I reformat the 3TB drive and if so, with what settings in windows 7?
