        An installed harddisk is automatically recognized, but unless you bought your Dreambox with a harddisk, you'll have to format the harddisk first before you can use it. Not all harddisks are compatible with the Dreambox, so make sure you can bring it back to the shop and have it exchanged for another model if needed. 5400 rpm discs are less noisy and require less power so you might want to chose a low rpm disc rather than the latest and fastest.

        To format your harddisk, telnet to your Dreambox, then type:

        unmount /hdd
        mkfs.ext /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1

        Then you have to mount it again and create a directory for recordings:

        mount /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
        mkdir /hdd/movie

        Now your harddisk is ready to be used.

              If it still refuses to format as per the info above, try un mounting the drive in hardware settings first.
