Has anyone else connected an external hard drive to the PE? I know,I know why would I do that - well at least I'm not playing around with the system files.

When I connected them the power light on the hd came on and a PE dialogue came up saying the usb device was blank or not supported. Well since it was formatted NTFS it wasn't able to read it. I tried the rest of mine but they all have the wrong format - except on the last one there was an old restore partition from a laptop. Lo and behold the PE saw it and connected. It showed up as a source in my reading program. Haven't had time to do anything else yet. Anyone else done something along this line? Oh yeah, it was a self-powered ext hd. The passport powered up though I am not recommending that.
