Thank you Pranav for your response
but the hidden files are not the case, in fact i always show the hidden system files
and for the recovery tool, i didn't try this yet, but it might work, still needs new storage to try to restore to it...
what about fixing this as is
and what about the other people that says they found it was detected and were able to read it after 20 minutes and by the way, i found this mentioned in about 5 posts till now .. doesn't this make u question .. what is wrong
There is no doubt in my mind that WebOs is faulty and so many people are facing problems regarding HDD either of detection problem or corruption problem.
The read time is depended on how much files you have in your hard drive for example if you have 10,000 pictures total of 1GB size and one HDD with only one 1GB file than HDD contains pictures will take longer than HDD contains only single file. I don't know why but TV it is not working like PCs in HDD detection (I am not expert on this but I am telling you this by my personal experience)
And yes you need some extra space to recover your files; a big problem in your case because if I am not wrong you might have more than 1.5TB of data from both HDD together

Hello Everyone ...
I have recently bought the LG 50LB6520, and since, it frustrates me everyday i use it ...
the Web Browser, i cannot play a music file or live streaming radio in one tab and open a new one, the player in the first tab stops
YouTube, if i put it in pause, and tried to resume, it starts from the very beginning of the video
And the worst disaster i had with it, was regarding my 2 External HDDs 1TB each, which I had for nearly 5 years now, and contains all my universe, Programs, Family albums (Scanned old images, weddings, camera photos, a total size more than 100 GB), Games, Movies, Cartoons, Songs and Music, downloads .. i've had them for 5 years .. Oh My Merciful God
first i connected the 1TB hdd of my brother, and played some movies to try the new TV set and its capabilities .. I tried to find the option to UnPlug them .. but couldn't find it, so I assumed that it supports the direct UnPlug normally like the pc and everything went normal nothing happen to his hdd, his hdd mostly had fewer number of folders and mostly was movies..
when i tried to connect mine for the first time
they didn't work in the first time .. (now from the post I knew that they may needed like 20 Minutes after they are plugged .. How Come .. to be ready)
Plug .. Un-Plug .. Plug .. Un-Plug exchanging on both of them .. but sure nothing of them has worked
the disaster was when i tried to attach it to my laptop ..
1- Toshiba: was detected on the computer, and the drive letter appeared, but no size bar, and trying to browse it, it gives an error in the disk, the disk may be corrupted
2- WD MyPassport: was detected and showed the disk size and the remaining disk space, but when browsed it, I found the folder structure i had appearing as Unknown file icons with 0 kb size, also i found 2 new folders i didn't had before, and in one of them i found 1 folder form the Family Album (Camera) and it had the sub folders of it .. where does this came from ..
later on .. after searching for the problem with the HDDs
i've been able to "chkdsk /f y:" for the Toshiba, and restored that drive
but this didn't affect the WD
and to be so stupid as normal people .. i tried to put the toshiba back to the tv ..
this time .. i've been connecting a thump stick and detaching it .. and in one of these times it showed me a warning .. not to unplug it with the tv on .. as this might cause some problems
so .. i kept the tv off, plugged the hdd, opened the tv .. didnt read it .. turned off .. unplugged the hdd .. plugged to the laptop and BOOOOM ANOTHER 2 FOLDERS APPEARS AS 0 KB FILES .. THE WEBOS MUST BE FAULTY ..
please if anyone can help .. it would be sooo much appreciated, i can even pay him if he demands .. i just want my data back
I am using my WD 1TB HDD without any problem. My TV model is LB6700. I am from India. WebOS version is different for different-different areas.
I don't know what is the problem but you might get your data back.
You mentioned that your HDD showing size correctly but files are missing; it is possible that your files are hidden (Also check show system files while viewing hidden files).
If that is not the case than you can use some good recovery tool i.e. MiniTool Power Data Recovery, Getdata Recover My Files. It is still possible that you might lost some files even after using recovery tool.
If that also don't work than try to contact Toshiba/WD customer care and ask them if they provide any facility for recovering data. They sure can get your data because they can go to very lower level of your drive.

Hi SenseHack,
Yes I am an Indian and nice to meet you too. It is possbile to mirror your tv in smart phone using LG app.Check this out. This guy has LG Smart TV and he is viewing TV in his smart phone using NFC TagOn app even you can find LG official video for this too but the problem is it is not a WebOS.
Currently TagOn App is in progress for WebOS TVs so I am wondering that is there any other way to view TV in smart phone or PC?
Hope you can understand my problem now. -
Hi Komail,
Your TV should detect your HDD as it supports upto 2TB(NTFS).
You should check it with another HDD. If your friend have one then try it. Also if any of your friend or neighbor have Smart TV then try connect your HDD on that TV.
If still this problem persist then you must format your HDD. -
Hi Komail.
A program called WD Security is used to create/remove password from WD HDDs. I don't have any idea about seagate.
When you connect your WD HDD what happens? Means it runs WD Unlocker first or any other program or it opens explorer directly. -
Hi All,
I have 42LB6700 model.
I have seen 2nd display feature in normal smart TV of LG in which you can see TV in your smart phone using LG app.
How to do it in WebOS I can't able to find any thing about it. Even I googled a lot but no success.
Is it possible to view TV content in PC?

Hi All,
If your HDD's format is NTFS than no need to format. I had the issue with my 1tb WD My Passport and the issue was it is password protected.
Also check that your HDD should not auto run any application(.exe) while connecting, if it is then it will not be detected by TV -

Simply connect your HDD to computer. If it run any application (i.e. WD Unlocker) then disable it or remove it.
It may be possible that there is a virus in your HDD and it is running automatically while you are connecting to any device. So it is better that you scan it.
Some time it takes lots of time to detect. It is totally depending of number of files present in your HDD.
One more things to remember is that file system of the HDD must be NTFS
If this doesn't work than backup your data and format your HDD and try again without any data.
Hope this helps
