Yes mate I have

Have you followed the advice to format in the sat box? Menu Setup System HDD and then initialize it?

Did you allow the box sufficient time for the formatting process? On large HDD this can take quite some time.

I pointed this out to him earlier in the thread
@tandaman - the reason it is saying the disk is full is that the disk is not mounted correctly or the path is incorrect and the box is trying to record to the internal flash so it reports as disk full - can you get a screen grab of menu>setup>vix>mount manager and menu>setup>system>Recording Settings

maybe a silly question but for others to do a screen grab how is it done please?

Ok I grabbed the screenshots but when I go to /tmp they are not there

 

[Rob van der Does]

Why not use the WEB-If for easy making screenshots?

 

[tandaman]

Thats fine it shows your usb drive is mounted properly

 

[tandaman]

Heres No.2

 

[Maxwell]

Right, it looks like your problem is that your usb drive is not being used as HDD so go back into mount manager (as first pic) and press the Red button to use it as hdd then reboot.
Also to check the free space on the drive go to menu>information>devices this will show total disk space and free space

 

[tandaman]

When I press Red to Use as HDD the mount goes to NONE and the type UNAVAILABLE

Under the info the hdd says ( 249.999gb, -1 MB free )
