Dear Ostracus,
Would you mind to disclose more information about your kingston USB drive? Such as how many partitions on it? What file format on each partition? The model number? Can you see it on Window?
It will be easier to fix the problem if you can provide more information. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Help Technician in Forum
One partition originally formatted VFAT, and now EXT3 on a Kingston Data Traveler 2.0, and yes I could see it in Windows. And no so far the Obi202 doesn't pick it up.

I don't have an OBi202, but I once had that Kingston USB key and ended up returning it to the vendor. It worked fine in FAT32, but that didn't allow for the >5 GB files that I needed to store. Attempting to format it as NTFS resulted in errors (under both Windows and Linux), which I didn't investigate further, because I found several credible posts from smart people who had given up. It worked fine in VFAT, but that was not supported by the Samsung TV that was to play the content (and I suspect by OBi202). So, back it went.

OBi202 does not support EXT3 now. OBi202 supports NTFS/FAT/FAT32/HFS+.
Ostracus:
Well it would be nice if that bit of information was in the guide. Anyway, reformatted NTFS and of course it didn't show up. Ordered a different brand, to give that a try.

Can somebody from OBi confirm whether this person speaks for the company or not. I wouldn't want the self-selected nick ("Help Technician in Forum") to fool me into making such assumption. Also, I wouldn't want to hold two arrogant and condescending posts against the company itself - but if none of the admins speak up, it is only natural to assume so!
