I have the solo with the latest vti image on it I have tried 6 different sata discs with no final solution. I will try the final 4.9 original firmware then back to the vti image.
Yes DATA I have tried three drives today - formatted in FAT32 and EXT3 but no good so must be something to do with VTI. There must be only a few of us SOLO pioneers at the moment hence the fewer responses I suppose or most are using the original image and are happy with that. Like the box though now I am getting used to it and what it can do and, hopefully, will do further into the future.
Regards,
filmman.
I'll defo test this out on mine over this weekend. Been a bit busy last couple of days. I'm almost sure that when I tested recording to USB that I changed my paths for timeshift too, but cant be 100% till I test again.

Tested this over the weekend.
I re-flashed fresh with the Solo VTI image.
First I mounted and formated EXT2 a 16GB usb stick as follows: -
Telnet and execute the following commands: -
Check if your stick is recognized asCode:ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda
or
/dev/sda1
if your stick is detected only as /Dev/sda it won't work. It must be /dev/sda1
Now unmount the stick: -
Now format ext2Code:umount /dev/sda1
Now re-mount as /media/usbCode:mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1
Now create a movie folderCode:mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb
Reboot SoloCode:mkdir /media/usb/movie
Once rebooted telnet again and checkCode:reboot
If the folders movie and lost+found are shown. If so, everything should work as it should.Code:ls /media/usb
Now Press Menu on remote and change recording and timeshift paths to /media/usb/movie. Press Menu button on remote to switch between filelist and bookmarks. To select /media/usb/movie as a bookmark navigate it and highlight the location then press blue button to add bookmark.

Sicilian, many thanks for all your hard work and all is working fine now with my hard drive connected to the Solo. Perhaps this info could be a sticky? Anyway thank you again and very much appreciated.

I have had major problems getting a Toshiba 250 gig hdd to work and even after trying the formatting as explained in this thread
(1) the Solo wont boot with the hdd inserted
(2) when you go to hdd initialize all seems OK try a short recording 5 mins and the message is HDD full
Then you get the green crashlog screen not just on this occasion but will keep crashing without reason and you have to flah the box again I suppose it could be the Solo dosent like my Toshiba drive?
Have you flashed latest image to it and replaced the drivers?
Is the HDD self powered?
Try deleting all partitions on the HDD and creating a primary partition formatted NTSC (as windows) It should be detected and may not actually need initializing.
When you try to boot it do you get anything on the TV screen i.e. an egg timer?
Do you have another USB HDD or large USB stick you could try?
Once this is booting you might need to change the recording paths.
