Step 1 - Adding an USB Hard Disk - PreparationIf the USB hard disk you are adding is formatted as FAT32 or NTFS you will need to install the “additional Filesystems pack” before you can load and configure the disk. Note that this step is not required if your disk is formatted as EXT4. Windows users can pre-format such a disk using the free utility MiniTool Partition Manager, and this is in fact what I have done.

For the piCorePlayer LMS you need: A name for the mount point. This will only be used by the piCorePlayer LMS, so I used the name of my Synology NAS. The IP address for the NAS on your local network.
