Hello.
I have now on several occasions seen this problem, which is now getting EXTREMELY annoying.
When i first had to Install my 2TB Disk it refused, so i found out to use the GParted tool, that reserves 1MB at the front of the data (2048 blocks) partition. After that, the Dreambox allows one to initialize it. (this should be something that the dreambox should be able to handle by itself, IMHO).
After that, i began recording movies on it, and it worked great until i shut down the power to it (when i had first chosen either sleep mode, or deep sleep mode). After restarting it, and trying to record another movie it refused with the statement "HDD not initialized" - and that was even when i could still access the movies on it from the media player (or via the FTP server).
So, i copied all movies over to my computers HDD, and moved the disk out and formatted it with GParted again, and then initialized it again, and it worked flawlessly, until i had to shut it down again. When it came back up, it again refused to allow to record to it.
Then I began to wonder ... could it be some kind of mounting issue, that the Dreambox isnt capable of doing itself, but a "Initialization" will make it do for it.
Anyways, going to go look for answers on the net, but if anyone knows a way to permanently correctly mount the internal HDD of the DM 8000, id like to hear it (besides, this >SHOULD< happen automatically by the Initialization software IMHO, but it just does not, it seems it only makes a temporary mount, that is lost as soon as the Dreambox is turned off).
Thanks for any help in advance.
