Re-Format your Drive to FAT32 and all should be well -- Also I use the TV O/P to my recorder [a bit of a pain I know] but sometiems Sky has problems with the aspect ratio using the VCR scart O/P -- Dave
He could reformat it to super mighty morphin X-Factor fight-the-FAT 99 bit and it still wouldn't help - If its NOT a recorder then it CANNOT record.
