What format is the HDD? If not EXt4, you will need to install drivers from plugins.

If its formatted to NTFS you will defo need drivers from the plugins. Take a look in Plugins > Green button (Download) and look in extensions probably or system. Not sure as not near a receiver. It will read something like 3G-NTFSxxxx or similar.
