Title: Hard Drive installing on the EGreat A5
Post by: Charles01 on September 08, 2017, 11:56:32 AM

Hoping for some help here please I own a Ereat A5  and I just brought a 4TB hard drive  to put all my films on.Now I know that I have to do something to the hard drive before installing it into the A5  I have i have to format the hard drive. Could someone explain in pictures if possible how to do this and anything else to do to the hard  drive for the A5 so the A5 will work OK with the hard drive and keep problems to the minimum. I will be using the hard drive for my Blu Rays, DVD, Photos. And Thats all that it is going to be used. What I am going to wait for is Android 7 . said it should be here October. At the moment I am in KL Having a Ice cold beer at the Royal Tulane  but will be home soon then to get my box installed.But if anybody can help  me in doing the hard drive. that will be time saved. I will buy a cheap hard drive over here and have a practice  so I know what to do.Many Thanks

An external USB HDD will work well formatted in most ways. It's more with the internal drive on A10/A11 that you have to be careful with format.

So format the drive as GPT partition table and NTFS file system. There is a guide for Windows+Mac here: http://www.wikihow.com/Format-an-External-Hard-Drive
