Hard Drive Not Recognized on my DREAMBOX 800 running DreamElite Blackhole
Hi there 
So I initially had my box running on nemesis 2.4 but I had a few issues with it so I decided to change to Dream Elite BlackHole v 1.0 and it runs much better but now my hard drive is no longer recognized by the box . I had it connected internally and it worked fine previously but it was no longer being recognized , so I thought let me get a caddy and connect it externally but it still didn't work. So i plugged it into my laptop and formatted it to ext 3 with EASUS, i was going to use Gparted but this usually does the trick . Plugged the drive in and it lights up and theres a ticking sound but its still not showing up . I looked up some things on the internet and someone had a tutorial on how to make it work and it involved editing the fstab file , well just removing the # and that is what I did but still nothing.
This is what it said:
2. When you have opened it you will see something like this
rootfs / auto defaults 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
/dev/mtdblock2 /boot jffs2 ro 0 0
tmpfs /var tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
#/dev/sda1 /media/hdd auto defaults 0 0
3. Now remove the '#' so that it will be:
rootfs / auto defaults 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
/dev/mtdblock2 /boot jffs2 ro 0 0
tmpfs /var tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/hdd auto defaults 0 0
4. Put the edited fstab file back in /etc, give it rights 644 and restart your box.
The only thing is that I don't really get what rights 644 is so maybe it doesn't work because of that.
If anyone could help that would be great.
