This method for the Solo will work with the Duo and an external HDD so long as its got its own power supply http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/showthread.php?1798-Setting-up-your-external-USB-HDD-with-your-Solo-the-easy-way!

Btw patience is a virtue ;)

Another thing you might wanna take in to notice, is that since it is formatted as fat32, it will be limited to 4gb file sizes... You might want to format it as ext2 or ext3 to allow it to record without the limitation (will be needed for most hd recordings)...

As long as you mount it, and all the files are smaller than 4gb in size, it should work...

You would also need the unmount it before removing the stick in theory to save having any problems with the stick and it's contents...
