Problems trying to install fresh image

[skratch]

Hi All
Im having a problem trying to install a fresh copy of vix i have followed the guides on here but still no luck.
I formated the usb to fat32 copied the folder xp1000 to the root of the usb and inserted it in to the back of the SF8 and turned it on but it doesn't load the usb it just loads up the SF8 firmware i have on there.
Anyone know what im doing wrong is the folder suppose to be xp1000?

what image build are you trying to flash ?, and what is the folder structure on the Flash drive / USB stick. ?

im trying to install image openvix-3.0.808-xp1000_usb.zip. Unzipped the folder and copied the folder straight to the root of my usb stick.

Try another USB stick. The XP1000 i had didn't like my Sandisk USB stick but worked fine with my Kingston one.

Thanks for the info i have now tried it with 2 sandisk 8gb & 16gb and a Verbatim usb stick, still nothing.
Do i copy the whole folder over to the root (like on my vu) or just the files?

I can't honestly remember. Its been a good six months since i sold mine.

I just followed the guide and it seemed to work fine.

DONE
i over looked theses important steps thinking it would work without them.
4. HP Format tool ( not essential but highly recommended )
5. Teracopy ( again not essential but highly recommended )
