What does it say in mount manager?

 

[kishan333]

hi i went on mount manager and it shows the hardrive and wihtin the box it shows:

size: unavailable
Device: /devsda1
mount: none
type: unavailable

Reboot and see if it changes?

 

[kishan333]

Hi i did a reboot it is still the same.

Do you know for sure the HDD is OK?
Did the initialise process finish OK? normally you get a message saying so.
Try again

 

[kishan333]

Hi, after initialising it said it could not complete error

 

[marty]

OK, remove the drive and re-format it in a PC (NTFS or FAT32) and see if its actually works OK in the PC.
If it is OK then refit into your STB and re-initialise, it will most likey work then

Hi, I am a newbie to all this, I have no idea what I am doing

Thing is I bought this box from someone with years channels everything is working but the recording

He said he will help on Saturday, so I will wait for him then if it does not work I will do your method.

Thank you for your help, can't praise enough.

Hi how do I update to latest software and what do you mean by start again? Will I lose all channels on my box if I update?
