    DM7025 Initialize HD Prob

    Hi all
    Fitted new 80g hd in 7025+ went to setup initialized ok worked perfectly. decided to change for 320g from media centre. went through same procedure would not initialize. stopped started and retried 2/3 times no joy. removed drive del partitions using ubuntu. re partitioned formated whole drive ext3. and replaced. drive auto mounts i can see drive using file manager can back up to drive using plugin. but cannot see files on drive. secondly cannot record todrive (pvr function) no harddrive pressent. i tried to initialize drive again but only get error message "cannot initialize" tried to check filesystem but get message "not initialized"

    I think image is newnigma2

    Make sure the jumpers on the hdd are set for CABLE SELECT.

    Log into your box via telnet and paste these commands.

    Code:
    mkfs.ext3 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
    Code:
    mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /media/hdd
    Code:
    mkdir /media/hdd/movie
    Now try again!
