Bought one of these devices at Christmas, tried three different external
HDs attached to the device and none worked; all reported the correct
size but stated 'unknown partition'.

All three HDs work fine connected to XP, Vista or Linux but not the
ScreenPlay.

Strangely two USB flash drives showed up fine.

Anyone had similar problems.

I don't know the unit, but at a guess it can only recognize FAT32
partitions, and not NTFS.

Having looked at the Iomega web-site I see that they claim to
support NTFS. But they *do* say that the partition must be a primary
one. Perhaps this may be the problem?
