CAN I PUT A DVD ONTO A INOi mh386 EXTURNAL HARD DRIVE.

Use Windows Explorer (or equivalent) to copy the movie files from your hard drive to the SD card

Hello,

you should not need drivers for that all, windows should be able to recognize it.

These things usually need an external power supply, first check if it is connected.

Try it with a different computer. If it works then I suggest a system restore on the other comp.
If it doesn't work (which is likely) then you should take apart the metal case, remove the HDD (which is a totally standard desktop HDD) and plug it inside the comp with the SATA port. Windows then will correct the disk errr upon turning on. If it doesn't work this way either then it's dead. If it works flawlessly, but when put back into the case it doesn't wok again then the housing is faulty.

Good luck!

This is caused by a defective hard drive. Possible reason is dropping the player. You need to change the hard drive to make it work again. You need a 1.5" (20GB) hard drive.

Sounds like a Bit recognition failure. Is there a way to establish the firmware or software on the harddrive you may need to http://inoi.com/English/DriverDownloads.asp
This may resolve the issue and May you enjoy

Make sure you are using the original composite cable and check the connections.
If you are using a SCART cable check the connections.
Also make sure the remote control is responding to media player.
Check the drive responds when you press the “STANDBY” button on the remote.
If the drive responds then the remote is working fine. If not change the battery and see whether it helps.

Also try on another TV and see whether it works. If not back up all the data on the drive and format it and see whether it helps.

All the best!

Go here and ask the question directly to the manufacturer.

try a nother USB cable possibly a thicker/better quality

Format the player to NTFS and it will solve the issue.

All the best!

Your'e going to have to install Windows from CD or DVD onto the hard drive. Then you can do the recover off of the external hard drive.

My INOI also has the same problem. It says "PARTITION ERROR" when I turn on (using the USB drive plugged into the computer). Upon reading and researching on the Internet, I feel that the battery inside may be weak for startup. Looks like installing a new battery would help ??
