Hi, newby here.
I bought the Beelink GT-King Hexa Core S922X back in September and it has been wonderful. Running 4K external Seagate HDDs one with TV Shows, and one with Movies. Loaded up some new movies and the Beelink now doesn't recognize it! Originally running them thru Kodi, but tried the included media player and it doesn't show it either! The HDD still shows up in Windows11 on my PC for loading etc.
Any ideas?

TWO ideas come to my mins...
1) IF these drives needed to get their power from the Beelink box, they might have overloaded the port(s) and damaged them? ( Personally i use powered drive enclosures just to be safe )

2) Next i would suggest transferring the data to another drive and then see IF you can reformat the drive as EXTERNAL storage on the beelink. If that is successful, then put your data back again.
