Fox T2 Ext HD not deleting
I've got a Fox T2. I've today connected a Ext HD. It plays programmes from the ext HD great, but neither deletes them afterwards - option greyed - nor 'remembers' when I stop playback part way through.

Is the external drive mounted read only for some reason?

How could I have mistakenly mounted it 'read only'?

Is the external drive formatted NTFS? NTFS formatted drives are read only on both the HDR-FOX T2 and the HD-FOX T2.

Thank you. I will check. What does it need to be? Is it called FAT something?
If you also want to have files over 4GB then the native FOX T2 will also recognise EXT2, EXT3. Or you could adapt your FOX T2 by using the 'custom firmware' so that it can use either NTFS or extFAT as well. |

If none of your individual recordings/programmes on the external drive are over 4GB in size then FAT32 will work. You will need to backup the files that are currently on the external disk first then, if the drive is over 32GB and using windows, use a 3rd party tool to format to FAT32. (The format built into windows only permits 32GB or smaller to be formatted to FAT32.)

Thanks the help here. My ext HD has been reformatted to FAT 32 and now works perfectly.
Much appreciated.
