Why does a USB-stick not show up on WB?

Hi,

A bit cryptic? Well, here's the full story. Today I set out and aquired a couple of USB-sticks (64GB each), and tried them onto my x5k with update 3 installed and all. The USB stack does notice a new device having been plugged in and comes up with a little requester with some information about the stick.

And that's where the whole afair stops. No icon coming up or so. Nothing of the kind. Trying a 32GB stick fares no better, but a 8GB one shows up fine.

Is there a limit to the capacity for the stack to recognise it? Or is there some other factor in play?

Did you try to look into the USB disks interface (Ctrl+alt+m), the details

@OldFart

There's no limit that I know of. I have a couple of 1TB USB drives (1 NTFS and 1 SFS) that work fine.

I have found that AmigaOS is very picky about which drives it reads and which it doesn't, although the new update seems to fix this.

Check what they have been formatted as. They may be exFAT. If you have access to a PC, try reformatting them as NTFS (which will, obviously, wipe any data on them already).
