HD mix HD replacement issue.

Hello. I have an Numark HDMIX that I need to set up a new external drive. I just set up a XP compatible 4TB drive NTFS external and the HDMIX will not read it. Any Idea why it is not working. Thank you.

I would contact Numark. What size was the old external hard drive? Perhaps the "XP" compatible feature will not support that size of drive. I had thought that the max HD size for XP compatible was maybe 1 TB, or 750 at most. You may need to revisit the HD size.

XP will only recognize up to 2tb. Partition that drive into two separate 2tb drives and you'll be good to go.

Thanks everyone. Called Numark today and they said OS should not matter. They suggested going with Exfat instead of NTSF formatting (The manual says to format FAT 32 - Which is not an option on this drive). If that doesn't work, I'll try partitioning. The working drive I'm currently using is a 1TB, and my replacement is a 4TB.
