koolio 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 ATV 1900 Pro I just got my 1900 ATV Pro. I installed a laptop HDD into the 2.5 SATA bay. I cannot see the drive listed. It is a brand new 1 TB WD drive. What do I need to do to be able to use it? Does it need formatting? How do I do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The drive should appear in File Manager Or within any video player app like VLC or KODI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bindaredondat 38 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 can you please hook it up to PC, and format it to NTFS and then hook it back up to the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see it first, so I removed it and connected it to my PC with SATA to USB cable and formatted it to NTFS. Now I see it. I still can't figure out how to access it from my PC to be able to upload files though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koolio 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 My drive needed to be attached to a computer and formatted too. I can now see it on mygica. Although, more than once, it has mysteriously disappeared - can't be seen - then it reappears at a later time. Do you mean you can't upload files whenit's attached via cable to your pc? Should work no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 No, when it is in myGica. This is the whole point, to sync files from PC to myGica. But it is attached as usb drive and is not visible from my PC. What is the point to have it then? I hope there is way to sync, I just have to find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
