Can't connect Usb external drive (2.2)

Post by brandonaliwarga »

Hey i have the custom 2.2 Froyo firmware on my Arnova10b.
And when i try to connect my Fat32 external harddrive the Tablet doesn't show anything.
The Harddrive starts to turn on the light but the Tablet stays the same..
Is it because of the custom firmware?
Should i change it back to the firmware from Arnova?
Please help me i really want to access the movies on my harddrive but also have android 2.2
Any solutions?

is the harddrive 'spinning up' ? try using an external device with it's own PSU - the arnovas have feeble USB ports, and really will not work with much more then a memory stick.. something like a harddrive can overwhelm it sometimes..
