After succussfully scanning and saving my satellites on my dm800, I have an issue with my external usb harddisk. The harddisk is 300gb which I formatted it to fat32 before initializing it on my dm800. But when I press the record button it says that the disk size is 100mb and is to small. The display of my harddisk in device manager is Type: SCSI (harddisk) /dev/sda. Any solutions to this? I've only had my dm800 for a few weeks now so I'm all new to this.

what image are you using ?
you need to somehow change it to media/hdd.
I'm using enigma2, and how do I change my harddisk to media/hdd?

To do it manually you need to telnet in to your box then.
If you know the usb is in slot /dev/sda1 then.
command:
mount /dev/sda1 /media/hdd
I have dreambox control centre v296. I've never use this before so bare with me.
To telnet into your box from a windows pc:
Start>run>cmd>telnet 192.168.1.#
replace the # with box ip address.
Make sure before you do the mount what the location of the usb is when connected to the box
i.e. /dev/sda1
Ftp and telnet connected, so after pressing the telnet tab, in the black space where flashing cursor is type in mount /dev/sda1 /media/hdd. My harddisk is connected to the bottom usb slot. When I checked my device manager it says dev/sda, so do I type in mount /dev/sda /media/hdd? I'm working from dreambox contol centre not through windows.

After typing in the command it says not found. This sounds like a lot of hassle from where I am. I'm better off just getting an internal 2.5'' sata drive and doing the procedure from the dreambox menu. At least it will be straight forward, I think. Anyway many thanks for your help lads.
as a test if you plug the hdd then in then: dreambox control center ftp>commander look in autofs and tell me whats there.
Also telnet and type: mount ,and post the results

In the autofs folder you have: sr0 DIR 01.01.2000...55
sr1 DIR 01.01.2000...55
And this is the results I got when I telnet and typed in mount:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type jffs2 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
undev on /dev tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/mtblock2 on /boot type jffs (ro)
tmpfs on /var type tmpfs (rw)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
automount(pid635) on /autofs type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=635,timeout=1,minpr oto=2,maxproto=4,indirect)
/dev/sda1 on / media/5f9b239a-2ebb-47a5-aa53-153eadd8ea98 type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)
ok eddman go back into your dreambox and go into the ETC folder
find the fstab file and right click to edit it
if there's a line in there that starts like this....
then delete it and copy/paste this line in its place....Code:/dev/sda1 ..........
save this and then restart your dreamboxCode:/dev/sda1 /media/hdd ext3 defaults 0 0

Ok, I've found the file and placed the command and reseted my dreambox. Do I initialize it again from the dreambox because it's still saying harddisk is to small when I press the record button.
ok,
telnet into your box and enter this command;
(thats a little L by the way)Code:fdisk -l
and post back your results

I have a feeling my harddisk is not compatible, it's a fugitsu mhz2320bh g2 usb drive. I may have to give up on this and get myself a 2.5'' internal sata drive.
Here are the results:
Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/tracks, 38913 cylinders
units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks id system
/dev/sda1 1 38912 312558592 b Win95 FAT32
ok,
now initialise it (as it's still fat32 at the moment)
St.O
Ok, done that.
have you tried recording again ?
St.O
Tried pressing record and it's still saying ''Free Disk size to small 100mb''
