Can I use my hard disk plugged to S2

**umby75fg** · 06-10-2012, 02:22 AM

Hi, I have a 2,5" and 250Gb hard drive. I don't remember which file system was set (perhaps a Ntfs) and the hard drive was not recognized!
How can I do to recognize the hard drive?
thanks in advance!

I am curious about what your trying
to do. I would 1st try and format
the drive using the phone. I would
1st take out the memory card
then after pluging your HDD,
use the phones formatting memory
card feature.

@Apple_sux
Are you saying to remove the sd card and then to plug the hard drive and to format it by phone through Settings->Memory and format, but for what I know that it cannot be formatted drives plugged to usb by phone. Or not?
And then why is remove the sd card with hard drive plugged to usb?

@madhatter2426
About power supply the hard drive has a second usb plug for the power and plugging its to adapter usb female/AC supply can We solve the question?
Certainly will not be the most practical and easy thing of the world..
