Vu hard drives

[echelon]

Nah as it happens the post came at a very opportune moment,just as i was adding a laptop drive to my solo2 to replace the existing usb disk drive.

I ended up just mapping the drives to my pc to enable direct transfer from one HDD to the other as FTP protocol doesnt allow for direct transfer and I couldnt be arsed sending everything to the pc,then back to the new HDD,and for all my movies I just used the internal move option within mediaplayer.

I would still like this software to work though because if your image is ever nackered and you require something in particular thats only on the HDD then it would be invaluable.

good to know, thanks, but my comments were aimed at the OP , lol (not you)

Because it's a lot faster

I agree its a lot faster , but I find that speed isnt everything , but if you really wanted the speed you would do as mr-dude does and dual boot the pc or laptop and boot into ubuntu and then its as easy as he said in his post higher up

I use a win10 laptop to transfer files to and from my vu boxes all the time, the hdd has stayed inside them all the time I have had them, never been removed and with no need, I dont find the ethernet transfer methods a problem or slow

you will get similar issues if you try to swap out a hdd in a sly plus box for a larger one, in that it does not use windows compatible partitions nor windows formatting

@Mrdude.

ext2fsd.

The external usb3 2tb works fine and can access files taken that off and rebooted

But the 1tb is mounted in the volume manager and shows the capacity but will not show in win explorer

You need to assign it a drive letter.

I did M8 got it working know.

I had to assign it to fixed disk not removable like the usb3 disk
