My System: DM600 pvr 120gig ide hard drive |
Hi guys Just got a dm600, all set up and picking channels up no problem, i have tried 2 ide hard drives in it but it just wont recognise them when i go to menu/setup/system settings/harddisk setup and click ok it says - sorry no harddisks found! Not sure if this has any bearing on the problem but when i log in to the router go to config, go in to mount manager i have 3 drives showing first one is /media/hdd which is not mounted second is /sys which is mounted third is /var which is mounted Any ideas where i am going wrong? | ||

As far as I can remember the drive should be set as master. Check the jumpers and make sure they are set correctly. | |||

My System: Dreambox DM7020, Global 1m Dish, MTi 0.2dB Twin lnb, Technomate SG2200 motor. Technomate TM9100 Super, Global Orbit 90R Dish, Mti Twin 0.2dB lnb, Moteck SG2100a motor. Dreambox 600PVR. Rover DM16C Digimax & Rover DL4 Meters. | I'm almost 100% sure on the 600 the drive has to be set to cable select  Also make sure you have the cable in the right way round as some drives will accept the cable either way  The cable had to be more or less folded back on itself on my 600   Nano

My own DM-600 is happily talking to the HD set as master. As far as I know, cable select is used so that the Master / Slave configurations on an IDE channel are set using cable position rather than jumpers on the drive. The drive on the end of the IDE cable being the Master and the one in the middle being the Slave. With the DM-600 having only one connection point on the IDE cable,It probably doesn't matter whether its set to Cable Select or Master. But, i may be wrong  Hmmmm, I wonder can it handle 2 drives with a 2 connection cable, will it have the juice to do it?
