Please post your tested and working Hard Drive make and model

[Galaxien]

Just installed a Seagate Desktop external drive 500gb ( model no. ST305004EXD101-RX ) in my new ET9000.

Formatted it on my pc but it would not work with the VIX_hd skin my et9000 kept hanging and wouldn,t boot up for some reason so i changed the skin to vali.hd.flex and it worked.

Anyway first impressions of the et9000 are very impressive. Much better than my DM800.

Just an update on this...

I had no end of problems with this hard drive using the VIX image.

So i changed to the Clarke-Tech support V2 image and after lots of testing this hard drive works great on the CT image.

Well if its initialized on the CT image it should work fine in the ViX image. Did you check mount manager in the the ViX image? Blue button > ViX > Mount manager.

 

[Galaxien]

Yes it mounted but whenever i recorded anything it would crash all the time.

Flashed the CT image and it hasn,t crashed once.

Did you post the crashlogs?

 

[Galaxien]

No sorry the CT image solved my problems so i didn,t post here about it.

Just thought i would let people know if they use the same HD as me.

Would have been more helpful if you posted the crashlogs so we could have got to the bottom of your issue

 

[Galaxien]

Ok will do next time....Sorry

CHillax m8. I didn,t post on here because i solved it myself!

Its not solved though is it, all you did was switch image. Chances are it wasn't mounted/initilized correctly, but never mind. If you use ViX again be sure to post the logs if it crashes again.

chillax ? i assure you i am very chilled. all i am saying is why make a post saying you have a problem with the vix image but not give us the logs so that we can investigate or potentially fix the problem ?. if people dont bother submitting crash logs there is nothing we can do to help.

I can see, many friends have written problems, and would like to write and own the most mou.echo less disk seagate barracuda 3500413as who works regularly with all the image with kernel 2.6.x! unfortunately not even recognized by the system to make him mount ( or to be done automatically) in new 3.x.x kernel (new vix image too)! if I find time i will make an effort through the weekend and would like to be as much as possible prepared with ideas that maybe you could help solve the problem.
thanks for any help.

 

[georgeflu]

finaly the above disk,worked but only with vix 2.3 build 153 (isn't strange to work only in this)!
