I have found that several media players will recognise a USB memory stick formatted FAT32 without a hassle

But plug in a large (3Tb) external, adaptor powered hard drive in and the message is "Drive not supported"

I have tried NTFS, exFAT formatting without success

Anyone used FAT32 using the Seagate disk utility successfully?

Any other suggestions?
