homehub and usb hard drive....

I know it's possible to use a usb hard drive by plugging it into the home hub, but so far all I can 'see' is the Samba Server (Thomson) by looking up the \\Thomson\BT_7G address. I have the drive formatted FAT32 and was wondering if it needs to be NTFS. Any thoughts?

Cheers in advance!

Nah it needs to be FAT32 some linux distros don't work well with NTFS. Some folks on here have done it successfully problem with me is big files and need NTFS so cant try it myself.
