Installing External Hard Drive

[Koridan 0]

I got a Western Digital 160gb External HD. I was just trying to figure out some ways to hook this thing up to my Pioneer DEH-P6900UB. If the Usb port on the back of the HU is powered, would it have enough power to handle the HD or would I need to get a Power Inverter and mount it in the glovebox to keep it from looking to tacky. I was wanting to Mount the actual HD itself on the floorboard under the HU because it has the LED power light. Anyway Whatcha think.

It won't work.

Why not? Does the HU only recognize certain jump drives?

1. The USB cannot power a 160GB drive

2. The HU cannot read 160GB worth of information

3. The HU can only read USB flash drives formatted in FAT32 or FAT16
