You can use it as storage the same way as a SD card or external USB storage. Did you format it before installing inside the box?

Yes I did.   But what will I store from the box to make use of the hard drive?   I would like to download show to make use of it later on.

How do I do that?

My box came with no instructions.

That is software dependent, if the app you're using allows saving data to local storage then you can download to the hard drive. For example you can use a torrent app or install a software to download Youtube videos.

Hello there

I have the same problem.  Formatted my drive the right way but it is not showing. I think it's a software problem.

Connect the hard drive to a windows PC and with disk management:
Delete all partitions
Check if its GTP, if not convert it
Create a new simple volume and format it

Backup before if you need to.
I think you can do this connecting the Q10 to a PC with a USB cable (printer cable).
