Hi,
i had a DM7000 with working HDD.

I inserted CF card, installed bootmanager and another image onto the card.
Box booted up but the HDD was missing.
I removed boot manager, CF card, did flash-erase and installed image back to flash with DreamUP. But the HDD was still missing

After I turn on the box, the HDD starts to spin up and then shuts ifself down in a second.

HDD is OK - it has been checked with a PC.

I checked the kernel log and there was an error:

ide0: Wait for ready failed before probe

I searched Dreamboard and came up with these threads:
Problem mit Samsung Festplatte 1204H &
Festplatten werde nicht erkannt

As my understanding of German language is close to zero, I can only guess what are the suggestions: to cut the first wire of an IDE cable or to use an external power supply. Can anybody please confirm that I understood these suggestions correctly.

Strangest thing is, that this HDD used to work just fine, until I inserted the CF card. Any ideas why it stopped working?
