Ok try to do like this
Power the dream with original software from flash
Make one format HDD
Use flashwizard 6.3 to install img on multiboot Hdd
Then put some mp3 for example and try to playit
Anyway I sugest U to Buy 1 Compact Flash 512 will be enaugh and to run img from there is more silent no more HDD noise and use the HDD only to record movies or play music
remember that only mpeg,mpg,ts,mp3 can be played
and check at the file to heave permision to be played ,i sugest to give attribute 755
And plan "B"
exchange the flash img with other ,for example CVS img

As the poster above says, install a Compact flash or USB stick, uninstall Gemini from harddisk and put it on the Memory stick/Compact flash after mounting one of them. This will probably solve your problem.

You can also of course, copy everyhting on your DB harddisk to your PC and convert to DVD format, then at least you've saved it.

This happened to me last year, and the only solution at that time was a reformat. Thats what I had to do. Sorry I have no more info on it but it dont seem to happen that much. Never happened again to me Yet!.
