I'm using StickMount with a 8GB drive, but I'm wondering if there's a way to get it under External Storage under settings?

Its likely it will show up in root explorer or root browser as ext. storage or sdcard something of that nature just a guess tho could even have factory label like scandsk

Yeah, I know it does, but I was hoping I could get it under settings too, to see how much of music, apps, etc are taking it up.
Or maybe a way I can even mount it as a SD card.
Ahh I see then I have no answer

Ok, so I know there are loads of 'guides' on how to get your game data moved across to a USB device, and believe me when I say I've tried them all. They all seem to have different methods/information contained in them. Nothing is working and I need some help before my OUYA takes flying lessons...
- I have an 80GB USB HDD with a 40GB NTFS partition and a 2nd EXT4 partition (32GB).
- I've got the Play Store installed, plus some games from it, and want to move the gama data from Android/data and Android/obb to the HDD to free up my console's internal memory.
- OUYA 'sees' the NTFS partition of the HDD under Settings/Storage, but not the EXT4 (is this normal?)
- I'd REALLY appreciate it if someone could take the time to write a simple step by step guide for me (and I'm sure others will appreciate it too) to help me accomplish this, explaining the process from the ground up, what apps to use etc.
Just so you know, here's what I already tried:
- USB OTG Helper (mounted the NTFS partition to some obscure location on internal memory???)
- FolderMount (says it's moved data to the HDD, but when I browse the drive there's nothing there)
- Links2SD (using the guide posted here on XDA - mount script kept telling me there was no 2nd partition (which is BS) and again, nothing showing up on HDD if I browse it.
Am I being incredibly stupid or just missing something really obvious? Or did OUYA 'break' these methods with the last update?
Any help greatly needed and appreciated!
Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I didn't found any answers regarding my issue.
So how can I transfer files from my pc using the pad's USB cable?
On my Sony phone with ics, it was enough to enable usb debugging mode and the pc sees it as a flash drive, using usb mass storage.
But here it seems there's no mass storage mode, only mtp and ptp which I don't like.
So what options do I have to actually see my 64 gb card when I connect the pad to the pc? Is it possible?
Cause even with debugging mode enabled it doesn't change anything, still have to use windows explorer and it's working very hard. Any help would be much appreciated.
Not sure I fully understand what's wrong with mtp option but I can fully see my 64GB card when connected to my pc via usb cable. I have successfully copied files to and from the SD this way with no issue. Explain what issue you may be seeing.

Can not see why you have any problems when my G Pad is connected I can see it as a device in My Computer " Not Devices " and when I open it up I see two drives. Internal and external SD card
Make sure you have loaded the LG USB Drivers
Plus it should come up with a list of what you want to do when connected click Open and view files
Thank you for the replies, guys.
Not sure if i made myself clear. Yes, my pc can also see my g pad device in My Computer, but it is not listed as a removable flash drive or an external hdd, thus i cannot see sd card properties, format options and so on. I usually use total commander for transferring files, because windows explorer is way too slow in doing this.
For example, if i want to download a movie or some songs directly to my tablet, how can i do that? With my sony phone is easy, my pc sees it as a removable flash drive, thus is easy to save files directly to it.
But with the g pad that option is gone, or at least i cannot find it. I must first download the files to my pc and only after that transfer them to my pad using windows explorer, which is really working hard. Basically, i have to wait one hour for downloading something, than another hour to transfer the files to my tablet, instead of downloading directly to the tablet.
And all this i believe is the effect of usb mass storage mode missing.
So in the end, is there an option to satisfy my needs?

In settings, go to "system", choose "PC connection", choose "media sync(MTP)".
MTP option does exactly what i was saying earlier, it only gives me the option to use windows explorer to transfer files.
It does not satisfy my needs, as i cannot save files directly to the tablet's SD card when downloading something, for example.
Can you people see the tablet's SD card as another DISK drive in your pc? With formatting options, sd card properties and stuff that you can do with a flash drive or an external hdd? This is my question, but i believe this is not possible.

I have no problems it must be your USB drivers as mine sees it as a Device
I open mine up from my computer then open the SD card and transfer all my Movies and Pictures direct to the SD card I can open up files on Device or Card
Hi again, i've attached some print screens with the issue i'm trying to explain. The main thing that bothers me is the clearly slower speed for transferring files using windows explorer. With total commander it goes almost double the speed rate. Plus, why should i download a file to my pc instead of downloading it directly to g pad's sd card? Waste of time in my opinion.
But recently i did read somewhere that jelly bean does NOT support usb mass storage, so i guess that answers my question.
I have just rooted my Sony xperia s thinking that this will help me in trying to recover files. However I am still having issues with this.
Thing is when you plug the device in it just shows as a media device and not an actual physical drive so any recovery software that I use can not pick up the individual drives.
What else can I do so that when the phone is plugged into the pc it is recognised as a physical drive and given a drove letter?
This would be a huge help as I have lost quite a few different files that I would like back.
Thanks

One way is to use Samba Filesharing over WiFi.
Once you have established a connection on your PC (NetBIOS Name) you can then map a drive.
This assumes you have root access on your phone and a WiFi LAN.
Well, there is this app which helps You Mount internal storage as usb storage on PC, but it is a paid app:
Xperia SDCARD Mounter
Edit : There seems to be a free version here: [APP][P] SD Mounter as Mass Storage V2.0
I have been working to get my external HDD detected on my rooted FireTV 4K for the past 3 1/2 hours now.
I have tried every suggestion/tutorial I could find on google. I tried ParagonNTFS, Stickmount, I even tried the adbLink mount tools, also was going to try the BusyMount things out but the main websites download link is broken and google came up empty.
Nothing has worked..
It's a 1TB NTFS External HDD..
I plug it in the ExHDD light comes on and no matter what I do or attempt it simply will not detect that I have an external HDD plugged in to this thing..
I tested a couple small thumb drives on FAT32 & NTFS and they all worked fine, are there any other solutions to getting a external HDD detected ??
I mean.. I didn't want to use the FAT32 FS so I rooted only to find out that it's not detecting the NTFS lol..
PS : Just tried my main external HDD on FAT32 instead of NTFS and it's still is not detected... Looks like some external HDD's are not "compatible" with the FireTV :/ fml.
PSS : Tried exFAT still nothing, I see no errors when plugging in the 1TB external HDD either. it gives absolutely no notification as to detecting the external drive, could this be because my external HDD does not have it's own power cord ??
well what i here is that the fire tv port don't have enough power to run an External HDD. it need it own external power hub . check aftnews for more info. and also checkout this link and post #7 for more instruction.
