Hello all,
Please be gentle as I’m new to Raspberry Pi and OSMC!
I want to attach my hdd to be used for videos. When I connect my usb hdd, a colour symbol in the top right repetitively loops, my usb hdd led is showing that it has power. OSMC is working fine.
When I go to find /media/ it is empty. No idea what I’m doing wrong.
My usb hdd is powered solely by usb but I have had no problems with it.
Any help please?
The colour symbol = not enough power
That is a warning, it will cause crashes
Optional: powered USB hub, connect the drive to that one
Ok thanks for your help. Would something like this work? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00E0NH9FC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1447451457&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=powered+usb+hub&dpPl=1&dpID=410Wwt4k5EL&ref=plSrch
It appears to be a usb hub and comes with a power adapter, so should do the trick.
Alternatively you could get a powered usb hard drive enclosure to put your hard drive in so it’s not trying to draw power from the Pi.
