Try to use another image on dm 800se. Maybe your hdd isn't workable with your current image that you have on your dm.

After these, I would be suspicious about power issues. Maybe there is not enough power to your hdd. I mean, your hdd is too much to your receiver and the device can't take it.

Re: Estar DM 800 se HDD problem

Double check that your hdd is not faulty (install it on a pc).
If it's ok but not working in your receiver (after trying different images) try to provide power supply from external source, keeping the receiver's and power supply's grounds together.
If still not working, it's sata interface of receiver to be faulty and there's not much you can do at this point.

Re: Estar DM 800 se HDD problem

it shall be either ext 2 or 3
i suggest that you download a feks ubunto and burn it to a cd or dvd
then you should be able to format it to ext 2 or 3

Another great and fantastically easy to use hard disk and USB stick manager is EasyUS Partition Master. It can format disks in FAT, FAT32, NTFS, EXT2 and EXT3. It is free to download for personal use, working safely and reliably in Windows.

Re: Estar DM 800 se HDD problem

hi,

open a console session onto your dm800 with telnet,

1. plug in your disk ( without external power supply | with + common ground )

2. list hard disks:


root@dreambox> ls -rl /dev/sd*

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sdb1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 9 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sda9
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 8 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sda8
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 7 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sda7
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 6 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sda6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 5 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sda5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Jun 26 11:20 /dev/sda

3. check the format of your disk (ntfs, ext3, ... )


4. try to mount it manually

Re: Estar DM 800 se HDD problem

Hi mate

Maybe firstly you have to format the hd in another pc in linux format and try it again in the dreambox.

As for the power issue...
yes, clones have power problems.

You can try to hear if the disk spin-up when you turn on the power.
If you can't hear something, try to use an extrenal power supply as other mate said.

Re: Estar DM 800 se HDD problem

Re: Estar DM 800 se HDD problem

problem resolved

great !

... just insert to dm other HDD from laptop ,and they works ..

that means you're directly successfull with another hdd but not the WD VelociRaptor HDD ?


for info, and because it might be helpful for future need,
i'd like to know if your hdd device is visible through the command

ls -l /dev/sd*

- the mount point

df

mount

- and the file system recognized by your dm

thx
