I have the flash drive working but it only works on FAT32 and not NTFS.
It does see the drive but you cannot view any files on it.
I am using the 3G version rooted with ICS.

Any idea why it will not see the NTFS files? I have seen most guys who have this drive working use it with FAT 32 and saw you have to change the "kernel" to get it working on NTFS.

As one can imagine, FAT 32 is useless with larger files - say large MKV video.

Help !!

Good luck, not sure you'll be able to get around that one unless ICS supports *nix file systems.

What I am picking up is after playing any video file, after some time my whole tablet freezes and reboots, plays fine on internal memory. Not sure what could be wrong

Yes but as I say, only on flash drive, with ntfs partition.
Not on internal

Seems to be all video. Mkv having big issues, perhaps due to speed of flash drive? Not sure.
As for other files? Not sure

Guess it could be speed related, did you test with an external HDD as well?
