Got this error -50 too.

At first thought it could be due to incompatible format but when I isolate it, it was alright.

But when I change my ext HDD, the problem stops. Weird.

My guess is maybe due to insufficient memory space (well at least for me).

Good luck ...

Cheers

How was it determined that the HDD is not compatible? And by not compatible, do you mean it wasn't correctly formatted?

Yes this is crazy.

I used to think Error -50 is related to incompatible files.

But apparently I tend to suspect Error -50 is related to Harddisk especially memory space in Harddisk
