How to format 1TB HDD for use with WD HD TV?

[Doju]

I have a Western Digital MyBook Essential and I need to format it so it works with my Western Digital HD TV media player. What do I format it as? Instructions? Help!?

RTFM. The link for that model is broken, but I'm sure your player came with a paper copy. The mini version supports:

USB Storage File System Support
• NTFS
• FAT/FAT32
• HFS+

According to the Manual, It supports NTFS, FAT/FAT32 and HFS+ File systems, So use which ever is most convinent for you.

Just keep in mind that FAt32 has a 4GB filesize limit, so if you'll not be able to put large media files, or large DVD ISO's on it.
