No hard drive in system menu.

[billyboy11]

Hi guys,

This has had me and my mate absolutely baffled. I'm running the latest PLI software with a original DM800 HD and I'm trying to install my new internal sata hard drive. For the life of me, after several flashes, to original, t othe latest PLI, I cannot see "hard drive" in the menu to install it. The drive has been formatted to the correct file system. I just don't know what to do now, I can't even install tspanel either!!

Help!

Billy

[billyboy11]

well yes, I've put it in the correct sockets and looking for it to appear on -system-menu. there is not "hard drive" option. I'm at odds.

He means have you mounted the hdd in device manger usually in blue,blue button.

[billyboy11]

hi, I pressed the blue button, pressed it again, just have cccam, import epg etc, where is the device manager? Cheers

I have just copied this from a recent post of mine:I have had my box (dm800se)for just over a week now and have had 6 different images on and without doubt i find :Sat4fun-newnigma2_DM800SE-Sim2_ssl84.nfi......awesome,it has all the bells and whistles pre-installed, which i have found out big time saves you a lot of chew and hassle when you cannot install the like of TSpanel etc without a lot of messing about!!!!!!!!
If it was me i would flash a new image,one i have learned is that certain addons with certain images can cause you a right pain!

[billyboy11]

Right I'll do that..

I'm on open pli... I've got a dreambox 800hd (not your se version)... so the best image for that would be?? And a link? Cheers Billy.

openpli is the best image manage external devices automatically but no device manager in openpli but you can use TSpanel/system tools/device manager and also should be no problem with installing TSpanel to openpli but plugins should be installed by opkg command not ipkg command

[canford]

Dont worry to much i had ca error and green screen during the last few days,from what i have been told its very hard to brick it,just be careful if you put this image on when it asks for an update,say no and disable nag updates in menu.
