[QUOTE="icarusi, post: 572939, member: 308359"] It didn't force a refresh, but rebooting the USB drive and repeated use of the 'scan' eventually got the drive recognised without rebooting the receiver (and losing the EPG data). I formatted the Emtec 8Gb with the receiver and it played back ok over the file breaks. I also copied the Emtec data to the Samsung drive using my PC and both drives were recognised by the receiver. It seems to be arbitrary as to whether re-plugged drives will be recognised by the receiver without a reboot. I suspect there's some usb handshaking fault, if it works, it works, if it doesn't there's no reliable way without a receiver reboot to make it work. I recorded more more video to the Emtec stick and noticed some freeze frames whilst recording. I haven't watched the recording yet to see if the freezes are recorded or if they match with file junctions. If I do find file junction glitches I'll copy the data to the Samsung drive to see if it's a write problem rather than a read problem. [/QUOTE]
