Good morning,
there remains a mystery thats not letting me forget about it. Why, with both drives formatted in ext3 on dreamboxes and using Ext2fs for windows would the dm800 not "see" what was copied on the hdd using windows explorer??

Argl 34 hours ish ... f***. Its my fault for getting the Mrs a 2TB drive for such an old device so she can collect meaningsless TV content. This is the last time i touch this receiver.

But seriously.. this is USB 2, so how long is my PC going to have to run to copy 2TB across? It doesnt even show progress or an estimate .. argl. This will take foreverrrr
.. that said its working so thanks again for that. Wish there was a plugin for the box that I could use instead of keeping the PC on for a week.

Thank you SIR for that precise and fast response. Ive been chewing my hat here .. I will try that out right now. It mounted as /hdd/generic for some reason but yes, my situation is exactly as you describe.
Erm will the telnet session need to stay open until this has completed ??

Hi there,
I didnt expect to find an active community still dealing with the ole DM800HD but I found you. And I need a bit of a hand please. I have been tinkering with this problem all day and am getting frustrated with the dreambox.
I wanted to replace the internal HDD with a bigger one and prefill it with movies recorded on a DM7020HD. I purchased a 2TB 2.5" drive and put it in the DM800HD. I initialized it there and then too it out again. I connected it and the 3.5" 2TB drive out of my DM7020HD to my PC. I copied the "movie" folder to the new drive and put it back in the DM800HD which simply wouldnt display that folder. It also showed all 2TB free space. I put the drive back in the PC and sure enough .. 2TB almost full, the movies were still all there.
Ill spare you the rest of tinkering, I have an external housing with the 3.5" drive in it connected via USB to the DM800HD and the 2.5" drive is build back into the DM800HD. PLEASE tell me how I can simply copy those files to the internal drive ?!
Thank you for your time!
Plop
EDIT: Its an original DM800HD and its running newnigma v3.3.2
