Which way is the HDD on Solo2 supposed to be installed, some say shiny side up is correct, others say shiny side down is correct.
This guy says that is correct but other guides showing on top, shiny side up is correct.Code:http://sataid.net/forum/showthread.php/29934-Installing-a-Sata-hard-drive-in-a-Vu-Solo2
Would obviously rather use the recommended way so as not to cause any problems.
No live links please, as to how to mount the drive it really makes no difference either way.

Many thanks I'm a newbie,and that's a great tutorial to starting me off on setting this up
I want to remove formatted Hard Drive from Vu+ Duo and place into xtrend et9000 box. Will I need to reformat the Hard drive when I place into the xtrend box? Both boxes are running VIX images.

Great guide thanks.
thanks am beguiner here.
Guys my duo is not detecting my hdd after I flashed with the latest image, so I have no options to initialize or mount.
could i run a usb cable from the front of my duo to my laptop so I can format the hdd in the box, or will this not work and I need to remove the hdd from the box??
Thanks
You’ll have to remove the HDD from your receiver and try n format on your PC.
