The situation is not really clear.
- Is it relevant your LG has Wifi?
- How do you connect the drive?
- Does the manual of the LG say they support an NTFS disk?
And to experiment:
- Does your friends player recognise your drive?
- Does your LG recognize your friends drive?

I've bought an LG DP1W with wifi recently. I tried to connect my LaCie 1TB harddrive to it, but it wouldn't recognise it.
The harddrive is in NTFS file system.
My friend has a WD harddrive connected to a WD multimedia player, and it works perfectly. His harddrive has an NTFS file system as well, so this is why I get confused. Is it because his mm player and hd have the same manufacturer?
I know that you're going to tell me to format it to FAT32, but I know that the max file size there is 4GB, and this is not a solution for me, because I bought it to watch hi-def films with it.
