Hi,

I would like to play media from my external USB HDD. But my HDD also contains some vital data that must not be overwriten or lost.

My question is if PCH will try to (or require an) install software or format the drive when I plug it in? Should I worry?

Thanks.

no.. a-100 will just recongize it as a source... it will not install any software.. however you gotta to be careful with the DEL button on the remote.. Smile

No worry. I have plugged in 2.5" ext HDD and 3.5" ext HDD effortlessly and conurrently, and PCH detects the presence of these 2 USB ext HDD.
