DM800 eSata hdd

[DSmooch]

Hi everyone,
just switched to DM800 from ipbox9000... so im kinda new to it.
I have perterPan flashed and installed a hdd (500gb Fujicom) connected to eSata (with external power)... it's not mounted...
i go to "harddisk initialize" and it says "no hdd found"
Does it have to be formatted a certain way before? (tried fat32, ext2..) ...
any help appreciated...

Check the esata cable is pluged into the mainboard, as if a hdd was previously internal fitted it maybe disconnected inside

thanks man but I checked.
I event bypassed it and connected a 3'5 sata directly to the main board... also tried a WD external hdd in eSata...
can the clone be faulty... havent come by a thread with this kinda problem...

It should always been seen in device manager as not mounted weather formated or not

[dctyper]

the voltage will be different mate so it wont work

i got a f$%^% up rev J tuner (not later than last month), the hdd not recognized... wth..
don't buy from CrownSat.... as a conclusion...

@dctyper
the hdd led lights on... from usb to power cord...

@bubbles69
from what ur saying... its the image or the box. cuz i tried with 2 different hdd both powered externally...
what image are u using?

thanks again...

2.5" sata runs on 5v me thinks. this is what the dm800 has

your 3.5 will be 12v so it wont work
