My System: I bet on red. If I lose, I double the bet on red again. I continue with this until I lost everything.

btw in theory it should work with USB1.1 speeds too but I'd stick to 2.0 for the higher burst speeds

PS: within the share, ensure you have your movie folder - case-sensitive of course
PPS (hopefully to make it super-clear ): eg. you have your USB drive as Z: in the PC. Make a folder called dreambox and share it as described in the instructions. Within z:\dreambox, make a folder called movie. So you have z:\dreambox\movie
Why make it so complicated then? All you had to do is to confirm that you indeed need to create the z:\dreambox\movie (or any othet drive letter.) instead of the C/dreambox/movie.

Next question then:
Did anyone have several mounts on his dreambox to computer to different HD? So you can record to wherever you'd like?

P.S I did indeed write a few of the guide, but many contributions come from forum users. And once I have tested this USB thing I will add it to the guide so next time when you send someone to read the guide it will be there.
