Hi guys and girls,

Having an issue with openelec, i just installed it all and it recognises my 2tb fine but my 5tb is having issues, it sees it but doesnt see any files on the drive. When I connect the drive .back to a pc, all files are there and accounted for. Both drives are NTFS

This is my HD film drive and I would very much like to get it working, can anyone help me with this one, looking at you Depravo and Fast6191

Thanks

I forget what it is, but there is a mathematical explanation for the incorrect calculation of geometry. It is most prevalent in older SATA enclosures when Chinese firmware engineers made assumptions (and coded shortcuts) assuming nobody would ever have drives bigger then 2TB; hence why issues are most frequently seen with 3TB+ drives. Newer adaptors (from an era where 3TB+ is normal) tend to avoid the problem. Some enclosures can have their firmware updated to solve the problem. Others cannot.
