I have tried this many many times. The option to 'copy here' just isn't showing anymore. It was fine for a few days last week but has suddenly disapeared.

is the add to list there ? maybe the drive your trying to copy from isnt formatted right and is read only ?

The USB drive is NTFS and the internal is ext3, I let the c200 format it. I copied over a ton of movies last week but now the options have gone. There is a 'add to list' option which I use when selecting the source folder then when I get to the destination (internal drive) the only options are 'add, delete, clear list'.

Can you write to the drive from the network?
What is the free space on the drive?

Mostly this problem occur when drive is on NTFS format,
your should format your HDD with NMT SETUP

Can you copy,move a file from one folder to another on the internal drive.

I have tried filemode and there's no option now available to copy file/folders. I add a folder from the USB drive to list then go to the internal drive press filemode but then get no option to copy the folder here. What is wrong with this kit????!!! I expected it to at least perform simple functions.

have you locked your settings in the setup menu. if so then the copy menu will not show up, you'll only see the add files to list.

press setup on the remote, if your settings are greyed out then you have locked them.

if thats the case press play to release them.

I have been investigaing this and have found the issue. If you use an Index.html in root of your internal drive it and have a link on it to the browser it affects the file mode options by reducing the options available i.e. the 'copy here', 'move here' plus other options are no longer available.

So how can you bypass the index.html if you want to go into the browser as using a browser link from the index leads to reduced filemode options?

I have the same problem. Is there a solution to this problem?

Think you are wrong with your index theory as I have Kdoske's index.html in the root of my internal HDD and still get all of the options available.

[palstar_uk]

When using a Index check the path the shortcut/icon points to for your harddisk. When mine wasn't working it was because I had it pointing to HARD_DISK when it should have been SATA_DISK. That should give you the full filemode options. Hope this helps.

[chris57]

My index.html is using SATA_DISK to match the C-200 naming convention, that would be why mine was OK and yours wasn't until renamed.
Should help someone if they run into this situation i'll try and remember.

Presently the main reason why the option is not available is the format of the HDD. When the next firmware comes out with NTFS write then it should mean that it is only those with the HARD_DISK index.html error that suffer from a problem.
