hard drive formatting

[frankie67]

hi there does anybody know what format i use on the harddrive
to use with my dreambox 800

Just fire it in and intitialize it then mount it.

[frankie67]

hi thanks for reply but i have tried that and mount failed also
tried blue, blue , device manager and red ?? cannot seem to
initialize the drive although it recognizes it.

When you goto menu/setup/harddrive/initilize what error do you get or does it do the process ok?

If it does this ok do you see the HDD in the blue/blue/device manager in mount points?

Also what image? phoenix 133?

[frankie67]

hi the error that shows is (error mount failed) the image that i
have is phoenix (young womans face) i think?

[Rodbouy]

I have seen a fair few HDD not being compatible what that img.

You cant try going to /etc/fstab and edit that file by remove the # for the hdd then try to initialize and mount but i would go with the below image (s)

If you like that image you will like BH 1.6.6 get that.

Should sort your problem out or try Open Pli 2.1 beta.

I`ve had the same problem with the dreamelite-phoenix image and the suggestion to remove the # before /dev/sda in etc fstab enables initialization.Replace it afterwards.

cheers for that, couldnt remember that line.

The # tag will go back once you reboot.
