Samsung P-390 USB drive

[morritz]

HI! First, excuse my bad english...
I actually have an external drive that I want to connect to my samsung P-390 DVD player. I know this dvd-player only recognise the FAT32 file system so I create a FAT32 partition (50 gigabytes) on my external drive (originally NTFS). But, it still doesn't works... Is my partition too big? It works well with a USB key...

I think the partition size is OK. I used one of my 500GB hard drives and created a single partition and it works fine with a Philips 5990 player with USB inputs. What did you use to create the partition? I've only had luck with SwissKnife: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/CompuApps-SwissKnife.shtml

I don't know if multiple partitions will work if you also have a NTFS partition on the same drive. Never tried that.
