Hitachi Touro Desk 2TB HD and ViP612

I can't get a Hitachi Touro Desk 2TB external HDD to format for a ViP612. When I enter Menu--> Multimedia--> My Media--> Manage Device it asks me to format the attached USB device. When I press "yes"
it proceeds to format the drive and when finished returns me to the last channel I was on. There were no error messages and everything seemed to work. When I now go back to Menu--> Multimedia--> My Media--> Manage Device it asks me to do it all over again! What is going on?

I replaced the Hitachi with a Western Digital EHD that was previously used with a ViP211 receiver and everything worked fine!
I then tried the Hitachi with the ViP211 and it worked fine also!
I guess certain EHDs don't work with all ViP receivers.
