Change image, mine worked at one stage, then installed Dream Elite and HDD was not recognised, i then reinstalled the PLi image all worked fine, i then loaded my preferred image VU+ Team Image v1.3 and hard disk it still working, i think one of the plug ins knocks it out, i will continue loading up more plugins.

MAXTOR 6L200S0 200.0GB Hard Drive SATA150 - it works O.K!

How about we also maintain a list of drives that are known to have problems.

Here is my contribution: WD10EADS. The DUO intermittently fails to detect the drive during boot. No other problems that I know of.

Some people have reported that forcing the drive into SATA I mode (with the OPT1 jumper) helps. I have not tried this (yet).

Hi...

I have a dreambox7000 with samsung 120GB hhd (5400 rev) installed and have these problems:
1- When the hdd in sleep mode and started a recording the receiver will hangs/few breaks in picture for few seconds then it will record.
2- hdd noise.

Currently, I am using a usb memory 4GB for recordings with my VU+DOU.

Now, my question:
Does VU+ has these problems? and what is the best hdd to use?

thx
