Hdmu and ipbox9000

[blaska]

Aaah ok! Sorry for missunderstanding.
I have no idea what kind of hard drive may I install, I mean, any restrictions? What's the maximum size my box can handle? Minimum 2gb, right?

[santa]

i don´t think that you have a sata hdd with 2gb, ide is not supported.

[santa]

sata is min 20secs faster than usb, if he had a hdd, he should use it

[blaska]

Thanks for your help.
Which putty commands I need to do it on the hard drive?

[santa]

maybe you can understand this faq-->klick
if not, aks again.
try to install with morlys stb admin tool-->klick

I can't understand German.
I've installed a 320gb sata.
From box menu I've choosed initialization and ext2 format, other options are ext3, fat32 and jfs. Ext2 is good or better chose another?

[blaska]

After formating from the box menu, I can not see any more the option hard disk on the menu.
from putty I can see this:
is my hdd recogniced?

strange, i only see two sticks, i think:

Disk /dev/sda: 524 MB,
Disk /dev/sdb: 4041 MB,

try a reboot

[blaska]

Yes, extrange... I saw the same. I did a soft reset, I'll try a hard reset.
No usb attached.
Maybe i can format from putty?

[santa]

yes of course, but we must have to see the hdd with fdisk before
