The device cannot initialize HDD?

Magnavox model # H2160MW9 A

You can do the initial setup by doing the following: Refer to the Owner's Manual channel settings
on page 31

First charge your mp3 player properly then it will work. Thanks :)

check that your not plugged in to a usb hub, my hub is USB 1. When I connect direct to a USB2 port problem solved!!

try to check it on CMOS setup, and see if ur HDD is detected there, then also check the jumper settings of your HDD, is it connected as master drive, or slave, then check other devices jumper settings for CDROM or other HDD connected to your PC. (do this for initial troubleshooting)

I not able to add music in my device 

Hi.

Most new hard drives are not partitioned nor formatted and therefore are not ready for use when first bought. They have to be initialized/prepared for whatever device they will be attached to. Formatting may be FAT, FAT32, NTFS and others.

This could be done using a PC where the hard drive (HD) could be initially/temporarily installed as a secondary master/slave and use the Operating System to partition and format making it ready for use. Alternately, an external casing with USB interface may be used.

For your purpose, you need to determine in what format will your digital video player/recorder accept the new HD. This may be found in the manual. Alternately, some digital video player/recorder has this feature/option that will allow you to format newly attached to HDs.

Should the above be not sufficient, please post back with the brand and model of your digital video player/recorder.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back as requested, how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

I know your problem. Your HDD is not clipped in. Press that little square circut thing in untill you hear a click.

Hi, run the recovery utility that you install from the CD. Reinstall firmware. C

The HDD is disconnected from the player. When you open up the player just carefully push the circut board thing on the gold foil behind the hdd in untill it clicks.

first remove the screws on the back then remove the hard drive silver metal part with a black plastic edge and then put it back in then replace the cover the back and put the screws back in and this should fix the can't initialize the HDD problem well it did for me
