i just bought a Vibe EN306TV media player. this item also has other
manufacturer names instead of vibe such as odsonic. anyone else have one of
these and know of any firmware upgrades and where to get it? or anyone know
how to write your own firmware for it?

When you say you inserted an NTFS drive what do you mean.
Was it a new drive, did you format the drive?
NTFS is a file system not a device.
Have you installed the drivers for the device?
Does it work attached or un attached?
External USB drives can be formatted using NTFS file system.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, The drive is formatted NTFS.

When attached to the PC the device works fine and i can see the hard
drive and save files to it.
When i disconnect it and connect to the tv using a AV cable the media
player does not recognise the drive or the files and says there are no
media files on the drive.

I have tried to reformat the drive to a FAT32 but its my understanding
that the drive is too big as it is a 320GB hard drive.

Do you knoe if it is possible to format a drive this size to FAT32 ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thats just a limitation of XP, everything else can do that fine.

Yes. Use fdisk etc.
