    Yes, quite probably the MAIN cause, but another contributing cause would be if the OP left it in a typical enclosure WITHOUT a power supply. For a multi-TB drive, using an enclosure without its own power supply is pretty much an invitation to NOT work.

    Yes, Seagate, Western Digital, etc. really do sell drives in enclosures that won't work. Why? Well, those cheap ass unpowered enclosures usually do work if and only if the drive is connected to a PC, but DVD and BD players have USB ports that almost always can't provide enough power to make the drive work.

    So since this is a DVD player, find a tool to FAT32 format the drive AND buy an enclosure with its own power supply for the disk drive and that should solve your problem.

    No, you will reformat AND buy a powered enclosure if you need one or it's NOT going to work. You've been warned.
