thanx for your reply! I tried your option unfortunaly no luck 
... But after I installed the mod firmware to drag files to the FAT+ from Windows, the hard drive was visible from the map network drive screen it was mentioned as sda1 or something like that. I tried copying a file and it worked, but when I reconnect my hard drive to my pc I can't play it, i mean i see the file but if I play it says the file is not there anymore.. I have another USB hard drive and that one works good wit FAT+ but thats only 30GB while the other is 300GB(the one FAT+ does not recognise). It's weird that the software from FAT+ does recognise my 300GB and I can see it when I do the map network drive(mod firmware) BUT.. the FAT+ does not !
Hope someone has seen this problem before. The 300GB HD works perfectly on windows so it's not broken or anything.
Update* I noticed that the theater map on my 30GB has 2 files in it and my 300GB only 1
Update 2: I Tried copying a file from my pc to the 300GB over the network(with the HD connected to the FAT+) and then turned the FAT+ off and on again,, then I go to the network drive(300GB attached to fat+) again and copy it and paste it to the 30GB who is also connected to the FAT+.. And I can play the file without problems, this proves again that there is nothing wrong with my 300GB HD and I can't understand why my FAT+ won't play from that HD.

!!!!!! I am so happy right now! thanxxx4 ever. Now I can really enjoy my FAT+
I know what you mean about thinking how in the heck could this make a difference??? It must be something to do with these cheap power strips being made in China or maybe surge protection or the circuit protection....puzzles me. Anyway, glad it worked!!

I'm willing to bet if you obtain a power supply with a 12V DC 2.5 Amp output it might alleviate the problem. I know most electronic parts, resistors, caps, ICs, etc. have a tolerance they have to conform to. i.e.. If you get a resistor rated for 50ohms it can be a +/- 10% tolerance. Which means that 50ohm resistor is acceptable as a 50ohm resistor with a rating anywhere between 45 to 55 ohms. You can bet your FAT+ power supply also has an acceptable operating tolerance. A digital volt meter across the end of one of mine revealed 12.22 volts DC. The other FAT+ I have shows 12.18 Volts. I'm sure there are some that will show more or less than mine show. I'm also sure if I had the ability to measure the current there would be variances there too. Just sayin' if you are having problems running some hardware you might try a power supply with a slightly higher ampere output.
Anyone that has electronic experience/knowledge is more than welcome to comment and poo poo this whole idea!
It's a great idea! that would be a good test. But for people who are non-techies it's not going to help them (i.e. they would not know where to get such AC adapter).
My speculation is perhaps it's a known problem, and Seagate just doesn't want people to ask for recall? 
I don't have this problem, even with 6 devices (including an AV receiver) plugged into the power surge protector strip. And I've been using a 1TB GO drive (with the inside USB port) for about a year now. So my theory this is just a simple low-tech hardware problem with the AC adapter or the connector, like Cfcrash has reported, as mentioned above.
