External HDD trouble

[aldo2332]

I have a 4tb HDD (mains powered) which i used to use on my old vu+ duo which worked fine. I plug it into my xtrend via usb port at the rear. I dont want to initialize as im not wanting to wipe nearly 4000GB of data i have stored. music/movies,etc.

If i check HDD
i get an error:
/dev/sdb1 contains ntfs file system labelled 'seagate expansion Drive'
fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb1

Any help on this please?

Alsoif i go to mount manager it says its unavailable

It looks like is formatted to NTFS. You may need to install the NFTS drivers from the plugins if they are available.

Im in the plugins list
the one listed is
NTFS-3g (1.1-r0)
is this correct?

Added the driver and rebooted done a check on HDD and got this error

error: e2fsck -b 32768 (device)

/dev/sdb1 contains ntfsfile system labelled 'seagate exp. drive'

What image are you using? OpenVix has 1.0-r0.

Added the driver and rebooted done a check on HDD and got this error

error: e2fsck -b 32768 (device)

/dev/sdb1 contains ntfsfile system labelled 'seagate exp. drive'

All of which indicates that the ntfs driver isn't in place.

im using openvix 4.2.030

i downloaded ntfs driver but after reboot still no joy.

that is a old version of Vix the latest one is 5.0.020 Release that could probably be why you are having problems

How do I back up all settings from old image if i am to flash with latest?
Or the easiest way to do this?

There is a guide for backing up here: http://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...y-restore-settings-from-images-older-than-4-2

this guide is for images 'older' than mine (4.2), is there a more simple way now?

Blue button -> Vix -> Backup manager.

Its always been there - time to read the forum a little.
