hi,
thanks for the replys on this, very gratefull.
I agree the 7025 does run hot and that it is not the best condition for a hard drive. Mine is a maxtor 300g. But i dont think the heat is the root cause of my problem. I have let the dreambox off and ran it cold, after boot up and after idle timer for hard drive switches the hard drive, the box is still cool, problem is still there....after rebooting and keeping hard drive active, without going into idle for 2 hours the hard drive is fine...which leads me to think the hard drive must be fine..not damged..
gonna try a different image over weekend and if fails then will resort to trying a new hard drive..
