    Hi peeps was wondering if any of you's could help me with a little problem, I have a vu solo2 myself and had no problems installing and mounting my internal hard drive. My younger brother having seen it up and running was looking a set up something like mine so I ordered him a vu+ duo from wos with great service and speedy delivery as always. Though i have run in to a problem with mounting my hard drive it is a 500gb hard drive that was removed from a sly uk box, after flashing the box with vix 3.0 latest build (unsure of build number) and going through the set up process i tried to mount the hard drive i thought all had gone well as i was asked to restart box after setting mount point as hdd so i restarted box and went to check the mount was ok but it was not there and had not been mounted. with the mount having failed i thought i should initialize the hard dive so i preceded to do this % wise it stuck at 51 percent for a while then moved on untill near the end of the process but failed at 98/99 while setting the mount with a pop up screen error saying that initialize and timed out


    i tried another image to see it this was the problem it was one of the new black hole images 2. something but still no joy
    I then removed the hard drive and gave it to a friend who formatted it to fat32 with cmd, popped it back in to the vu duo and tried to mount still no joy and the same pop up when a tried to initialize as well.


    Any help would be great, anything else i should be doing ect? before I phone wos for some suppport

    I generally have issues whenever I've fitted a used HDD from PC - though this would show itself by E2 hanging on boot when disk in place. Can you get disk onto a PC and remove all partitions, not sure what format the *** box will use.


    If it's a MBR issue you might try this from a PC, but i've not used it myself before :
