Transfer of files from USB drive to the b3 - format?

Post by Andy »

I got my b3 yesterday. It will be used mainly as an audio server with a squeezebox touch. I have my music files on a 750 GB hard drive (format FAT). When I connect the drive to the b3, it cannot be mounted. Has the b3 problems with FAT? I also tried to format a USB drive with the b3 software, works fine - but: then my iMac does not recognize the format...
Any advice highly appreciated!
Thanks, Andy.

Yes, from the webpage. In the meantime I made a restart - and suddenly the disk appeared. I have again dismounted the disc, and I'm filling it presently with music files. Let's see whether it will mount the next time.
