    Thanks codar,
    It seems to be only the BH image that causes this problem with the HDD.
    Ian from another forum seems to have found the answer to my original crashing problem (fingers crossed)
    He said it is caused by the skin. I have now installed Vix again and left the skin as default. So far so good.
    Thanks to you Guys for all the good advice also.
    Hope this helps others too!


    Kind regards,
    Jules.

    OK Guys,
    It is working now with the BH 2.1.0 image that codar recommended and the telnet command cazuela advised me to enter.
    Still working this morning. I am ver grateful, thanks.
    Only problem now as I mentioned last night is that I cannot stop my usb HDD from spinning. I have tried everything, but it has been running continuously.


    Thanks.
    Jules.

    Thanks pheonix,
    I have put the basic BH 2.10 back on again now, I think this has been the most stable. The only problem is I cannot stop my external HDD from spinning.
    Any ideas please?

    Hi cazuela,
    I am trying that image again.
    I have entered the command into telnet but it seems ram is back up to about 95% again.
    I have installed flashexpander but when I try to run it, it comes back with message it cannot install to HDD ext3
    Do I need to change something here please?


    Regards,
    Jules.

    Hi cazuela, I have installed a vix image with the settings you recommended to me and testing it now.
    Does anyone know how to see system mamory usage on vix image please? I cannot seem to find it.


    Thanks.

    Thanks cazuela but I was just seeing if it made 30 secs made any difference but HDD still spins anyway. I have set i back to 10 mins now.
    Sorry, but will that command in telnet help if I have already set swap file of 256M?
    I have installed ram expanding software but cannot find it in the munus.
    Regards.

    Thanks for the reply cazuela,
    I am using an external HDD. Can I set up swap file in that?
    The other problem I have is that the Hard drive will not go into standby.
    It just keeps on spinning. If you can suggest anything to help there please?

    Hi Codar, I have installed it and it is just running with my CI cam in the slot and not frozen yet.
    Am I best not updating the software from the menu, could this cause a problem?
    Also, am I OK just to install a softcam only?


    Thanks.
    Jules.

    My other thought is to download a backup image from the forum. Maybe I could find one with the minimum files and plugins.
    This may help, do you Guys think it could?

    Thanks for the replies Guys.
    Mckee, I use a 256m swap file every time.
    Darius, are you saying I should reprog box with J tag?
    I do notice if I leave the box in standby (Red LED), a while later the box turns itself on (Green LED) and crashes. Does this indicate anything?
