My System: Tecnomate 6900 super TM-100 d Titanium quad lnb Fixed dish Windows PC
Hard disk problems

I have just added a 'WD Elelemnts' 1tb usb hard drive to my TM-6900.
At first, it worked perfectly. I was able to view jpgs, play mp3s, and record a couple of programs.
Now, a few days later, I can't do anything. It won't record anything, and can't see any jpgs or mp3s.

I have:[INDENT]unplugged everything, switched everything on and off.[INDENT]reloaded the TM software (version 688) just in case it had got corrupted.[INDENT]reformatted the hard drive (I downloaded formatting instructions from the TM website, but my vista PC didn't offer anything like the choices they list. I just formatted it anyway, and reloaded my mp3, etc.)

The hard drive is readeable on the PC, with all files visible. When I connect it to the TM-6900 I get message saying it is connected, but when I select the fuile list is says 'not ready'. Mp3s, etc are still invisible.

It seems odd the the drive worked straight out of the box, but not now. It works perfectl;y with the PC.
Is this a fault on the TM-6900? Or am I doing something wrong. The manual is not very helpful on this topic.


Any suggestions?
