Maybe it is your model of the hometheater. Am saying this coz I have a DVD player which only recognizes the first drive whenever you partition, but my main hometheater sees all the three partitions I have and I have 2 ntfs & 1 fat32

Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] 1TB WD External harddisk with USB 3.0 not been recognised my hometheater

Had the same issue some time back, mine was a 350GB. Apparently, it takes very very long scanning for the first time. I gave up and left it by mistake on power, and the next day, voila, it worked - the long scan is just for the first time, whatever the file system (ntfs or fat)
