Hi guys,
After much deliberation (browsing these very forums for advice) a few weeks ago I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase a VU+ Duo. So far so good; I've been extremely impressed with the receiver.
At the time I decided against getting the HDD added when purchasing the machine as I thought it would be better to do it myself. I'd know what was inside and it would also save me some money. I'm kinda wishing I had the addon now.
My problem started today when I've tried to install the HDD. Got the hard drive into the box no problem. It's when I've come to initialize it where I've come unstuck.
Clicked on initialization as required.
Select HDD - ATA (Samsung HD103SJ) - Internal (1000.204GB) - Initialize
The following error message appeared:
"Error: could not stat/dev/sda1--- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist, did you specify it correctly?"
So I thought to myself, lets give it another go. This time I got the following error:
"Error: or by label, using -L label; or by uuid, using - u uuid
Other options: [-nfFrsvw][- o options][-p passwdfd]
For many more details, say man 8 mount"
I'm not really much of a techie; I've managed to get the receiver working by browsing these forums as they are extremely helpful providing really good walkthroughs but hardware issues are a completely different matter.
My wife has said that I'll need to get out the sly box again if I can't get this working. I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me out.
Many thanks in advance.
