I've done it with OpenElec XBMC and a 500 gig USB HDD (externally powered) and it worked fine (auto detected).

Are you saying you are not using a separate power supply for your external hard drive? It needs its own power supply. No way will it run with power from the USB port (unless you are using a powered hub).
