Playing music from a USB hard drives

As USB powered hard drives are getting more and more popular, it gives the Morpheus an 
opportunity to have extremely large storage without any reliance on a PC. Not all commercial USB 
hard drives will work straight away with the Morpheus because they are formatted under the NTFS 
File System and the Morpheus uses the FATS Files System. However you can reformat your USB 
hard drive back to FATS File System so that your USB hard drive will work with both your PC and 
Morpheus!

First, let’s find out if you need to reformat your File System from NTFS to FATS:
To find out the type of File System used in your USB hard drive, double click on My Computer, then 
Right Click on your USB hard drive icon and select properties. In that panel you will see your File 
System indicating whether it is NTFS or FATS. If it shows FAT or FAT32, YOU DON NOT NEED TO 
REFORMAT YOUR USB HARD DRIVE! Your Morpheus should be able to recognise it under Main 
Menu > Media Player > Local Media.

If it shows NTFS, then proceed with the following:
Below is a simple method which will allow you to format your USB hard drive to FATS Files System. 
Please note your PC can still use that hard drive without any problem so your hard drive can still be 
used for data etc.

WARNING: Any formatting will erase all your data on your hard drive. So please back up all 
your files before changing your formatting from NTFS to FATS. The following information is at 
the user’s own risks. Sonneteer cannot be held responsible for any data loss due to the use of 
the third party software.

Software you will need:
- Go to www.compuapps.com and go to the download section and look for a free a program called 
SWISSKNIFE Version 3 or higher. 
- Install SwissKnife V3 as per the programs instruction and then Run SwissKnife (see diagram below).
- Now connect the USB hard drive to your PC and let it install itself. 
- SwissKnife should recognise the USB drive and your USB hard drive should be listed under the 
USB Host Adapter 1 (or another number).
- Follow the instructions of SwissKnife and format your USB drive to FATS format.
When done you can drag all your music files from your PC to your USB hard drive and then you can 
connect your USB hard drive to the Morpheus. You should then be able to find your music files under 
Main Menu, Media Player, Local Media.

Click on File System pull down menu and 
select FAT32. Enter a Volume Label (Hard 
drive name). Click Start when ready! 
Warning! YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR 
FILES PREVIOUSLY STORED ON YOUR 
HARD DRIVE!
