Now what i need to know is how to get it to read my hard drive using usb

its a 140 gig westerndigital fat 32
and

how to connect the usb cable???
do i plug the player in and the other end in my pc usb slot?

what hard drives are supported, anyone know

I might be wrong but I think the hard drive has to be in an external enclosure. Read the topic I linked to, there's LOADS of info' regarding hard drive compatibility.

your right from what i have been reading, the external harddirve needs to plug in and then it can be used along with an assorted of thumbs and flashdrives. But what a player eh. Just doing data cds that takes seconds then to watch a movie right away no burning for 2 hours. This is awesome
thanks for your help Happy Easter

The drive has to be formatted with the FAT file system (FAT16 or FAT32), NTFS won't work. Many drives that get their power from the USB cable won't work because the 5960 doesn't supply enough power. In those cases you'll need an external power supply.
