    DM800 hd bootloader 82 pheonix 1.33 - 2tb hard drive setup help please

    Hi, I have a 2tb seagate external 3.5" hard drive which i would like to use primarely with the dreambox but i would also like to save some movies which i have downloaded so that i can either watch them through the dreambox or another device eg laptop or ps3. i also have some window based files/document which i would like to store on the hdd.

    is there anyway i could partition the drive and use 1 hard drive for all these purposes? if so how would i go about doing this?

    any help much appreciated. Thank You.

    Sounds perfectly do-able, hook it up to box, mount it and then map the drive to windows , Google will help ya with mapping, Google "how to map a drive to vista " or whatever os you use, then your drive is just a click away from your PC

          Have you had a look in var/etc/fstab and made sure any HDD settings have no preceeding # ?

          Phoenix 1.33, you may find the odd # in there

          Just a thought...
