When I connect it via USB to my Panasonic Viera Tv Model TH-L42ET60A, it says there are no supported file types on the drive. How can I fix this? Thankyou<\/p>\n<p>The files on the drive are all supported by the tv. The drive was NTFS when I got it, so I tried to format it using Windows8 and the only other option I got was ex-FAT. I&#8217;m thinking that is the problem, but I don&#8217;t know how to make it FAT32 when the computer doesn&#8217;t give me that option. I have EaseUS Partition, so I&#8217;m going to try partitioning it and hoping that will also give me a FAT32 option. What do you think?<br \/>\nYes the drive turns on. The tv supports USB 2.0 but I&#8217;m not sure how to find out what size cable the external drive has. Any ideas?<br \/>\nPS The drive was given to me, so I don&#8217;t have any of the paperwork that would&#8217;ve come with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":16},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-5743","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/5743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=5743"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=5743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
