Per the manual for the DEH-P690UB, any drive you connect via USB must
be formatted in FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32. It may be currently be
formatted in NTFS - which would make it so that your deck can't read
it.

The only other guess I have is that the supply current from the deck
is only 500mA, and perhaps your portable hard drive requires more...

Hope that helps,
