Last year, I bought a media player:

Basic premises is that you stick a spare HDD into it, add a few movie into it and then you can play on a TV. It worked very well with my 80gb Samsung HDD until I realise I need more space so when I saw a Seagate 200gb HDD for sale, I snapped it up.
At first, I just bunged all the movie into it and it played perfectly on my TV as normal but when I connect it to a PC to reorganise the files like creating a new folder and sorting the movies by genre, it would take forever and then it would give an error message. Worse was I can't transfer the movie out.
Now, the media player says the HDD has to be formatted to FAT32 to be read. I'm starting to wonder if something like this is the cause of this happening?
