DM800 HDD teething

[s23pho]

Ok so ive been trying for about 5 days now, to format initialize and mount my drive and make it recordable. However whatever i do, the HDD seems to not work with my DM800, constantly receiving 'Mount Failed' and 'mkfs failed'. Now im sure its the image and not the hard drive, i am using the dream elite 1.0 HD PRZ edition. Now i quite like this image, but if there is a better/newer image that anybody could recommend, i would really appreciate it. Im sure this is quite a common subject, but i cant seem to find the answers i need.

Thanks a lot

Steph

If its a sim201 you could try the DreamEliteBH-133dv3PHOENIX sim201-SSL76C image.

I'm using Gemini 4.5 for 201 sim clones...

Are both of these better than the image im currently using?? is my image regarded as good or bad?? ive been looking into both of these really (well gemini 5.1) thanks for the replies

I finally got it to work after days of headaches. What i did was format my drive to EX3

Then connected the drive to the dreambox and then mounted it. (Blue button drive, Device Manager, Red Button, chose /media/hdd and then ok)
Your DM800 will now restart to save changes. You'll notice that you'll be able to pause but not record
Ftp into your box and create folder called movie in the /media/hdd path. so it looks like /media.hdd/movie
Then it should record fine

Thanks for the reply, I think I read this yesterday and tried it but the mount option wasn't anywhere on my image literally looked everywhere!! I'll try gain when I get home in a minute
