hard drive init.

[steve1978]

having problems finding the setting to initialise hard drive on vix uno image. any one point me in right direction?

[Stanman]

menu>settings>hard drive

[punisher]

I think its menu/setup/system/hard disk/initialize

[steve1978]

thanks for the quick re3plys, sadly it isnt there.

setup - system, but no hard disk option. am i missing something? drive i have put in isnt formated or partitioned.

[Stanman]

some one had issues with a ntfs partition, might be worth formatting on your pc and than trying.
There are also some Linux commands to format - might be worth a forum search to try before pulling it out.

oh no dont say that! i really canr be doing with stripping it all out again.

[Stanman]

Have a look in here and see if you can see a hdd command.
Will need putty to use them.

The HDD ideally should be un-partitioned before installing. Save yourself time, remove it, connect to pc and delete all partitions.

[steve1978]

that was where the drive was at, in the end i took it back out, formated on apc to ntfs and put it back in and it recognised straight away and installed withought issue.

thanks for the help
