    you dont need to format your hard drive, when you upgrade to 2.0 it will already be initialized. when you have installed, do a full software update first, then you can download plugins. you will need to install cccam manually as it isnt in the plugins menu no more

    check the post here

    http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...iX-Team-images

    you will need to do your settings all over again, so make sure you take a backup via DreamBox Edit of your bouqets etc. once you have flashed then you can restore bouqets back via dreambox edit. Do not restore from previous settings when you flash and go through the initial setup guide as vix 2.0 might not work properly.

    If you get stuck just ask and anyone will help ya here

    Hi I have followed this guide all went well until I got to the initialistion which came you the the error below. Using old external Maxtor 500gb which had 2 partitions with permissions. I used used windows 7 to format it and remove partitions.

    Also tried to telnet into the Vuo Duo and I get asked for USER PASS tried
    User :root
    Pass :dreambox

    and
    User :root
    Pass :

    with no luck

    Initalizing storage device....
    Error: or by label.using -L label or by uuid.
    using -U uuid.
    Other option: [-ntfsvw][-o options][-p passwdfd]
    For many more details, say man 8 mount.

    I'm guessing that you are not using the original image as I've read several similar threads and this seems to be the problem. The recommendation has been to reflash with the original image, format the disc, and then reflash with whatever you wish to use.

    For telnet, try root/vuduo

    Hi xarqi now all sorted after reading the other thread. Maybe a sticky saying VIX 2 cannot format your hard drive use VIX 1.3 would save people a lot of time.

    to be clear, you used the hard drive straight out of the box? no need for making an active partition?

    That's right. I installed mine exactly as delivered, with no prior initialisation or formatting or similar. Out of the box, into the Duo, then initialised by the Duo. I assume that the drive was preformatted by Samsung as some sort of Windows format, but I've no idea what or if that is in any way relevant, but I'd be surprised if it was.

    No the samsung 2tb is fitted just like any other Hard Drive and just needs initializing after installation before it can be used
    All PM,s asking about c/s on cable will be ignored and reported to forum staff!

    Can partition on the linux boxes simply... Here's a little guide...

    If you use the initialise command within e2, then that will usually remove any partitions you just created... So, you will manually need to format the partitions, and create the /media/hdd/movie folder...

    Is it ok to install the SATA HDD before ever switching the Duo on after purchasing it?

    Thats my plan anyways - thought it would save some time and have read its best to initialise with the standard image rather than flashing an image and then attempting.
