If your trying to mount it for recording read this post http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/showthread.php?1271-Hard-Disc-Initialise&p=7924&viewfull=1#post7924

Even once its mounted as EXT3 it still wont show in menu/system but once you set your recording path's it will record fine.

What operating system are you using on your PC and is the Solo networked to your PC?

Thank you for your reply! My OS is XP, My box was set up by a third party, It is connected to their server, I think it is networked to my pc, I know the box is connected to my router and the pc connects wirelessly! hope this info helps.

Ok, easy then if you running XP :p

Open up a command prompt and telnet to your Solo.

First find the IP of your Solo by going into network settings.

Then the following command changing the IP for the IP of your Solo: -


telnet 192.168.1.10

Enter username as root press enter and leave password blank just press enter.

Then follow the guide linked in post 2 of this thread.

Now if you purchased your Solo off a trader who has connected you to a server it might have a password set to stop changing CCcam.cfg.

There is a plugin you can download from the vti panel that lets you change your password from remote
