If you have a hard drive that works, please post the brand/model and anything special you did to get it to work (e.g. format FAT32, use an extra power cable, etc.).

So far I have tried a Western Digital Passport 160GB, formatted FAT32, and it didn't work. I returned it before I thought to try giving it some extra power. My local CompUSA carries the SmartDisk FireLite 120GB (4200 RPM -- some say this is important) so I'm thinking about trying that next.
