Trying to record on DM800HD SE

[kuraido]

Hi guys, I'm using a clone DM800HD SE with this info -
Enigma: v3.2, Image: Experimental Ver (010-r04) and have already fitted a Hitachi 500GB internal HDD inside.

I've alrdy read relevant guides about initializing the HDD but I can't get it to happen. This HDD was from my old laptop, so I didn't format it. It is formatted in NTFS and has my laptop system files etc. I guess it doesn't matter since I'll let the dreambox format/initialise it, but I can't do that.

I go to Menu -> Setup -> System -> Device Manager -> Storage devices and then I see "SATA Hard disk - Multiple paritions found!"
I press "OK" to see available partitions. Then I see 2 HDD icons next.

First: ATA-Hitachi HTS72505 (26.8GB)
SATA Hard disk - /media/HitachiHTS72505Part1

Second: ATA-Hitachi HTS72505 (473.2GB)
SATA Hard disk - Unsupported parition type!

The First partition, I only can press the Blue button for Settings, which gives me option to select the Harddisk standby after x minutes.
There's also a message "Please press OK to set up a mountpoint for this partition!"
When I press OK, I see "Hard disk already configured! 1-Unmount now. 2- Manually select a mountpoint now 3-Do nothing"

Since there's nothing else I can do, I go to Menu -> Setup -> System -> System paths settings, I look at "Default storage device" and it says <No default storage device selected>

So... I'm lost. Anyone can give me a hand on where I did wrong? Thanks in advance...!

Press the blue button on remote and select newnigma services and go to device manager to initialize one of yr partition and then mount the hdd.

Hi ypvs125, thanks for your reply.

I assume that when you said press blue button, I'm supposed to press it in the default view screen right? (while watching a channel)
When I press the blue button, I only see "Dream Elite Manager v 2.52". I can't find the "newnigma services" like you said :(

Newer dreamelite images i do not see the option to initialize the hdd under device manager so only way is to format it to ext3 using yr pc and merge the partition into one unless u r using a usb hdd where u can make separate partition for using it in windows or recording for dreambox. Once u formatted it in ext3 format, it will recognize the hdd and u can select it as a default storage device and then u can start to do recording.

Hey ypvs125, thanks for answering my post.

Anyway, yeah, I formatted the HDD to ext3 and I got recording to work :)
Cheers!
