    if box is only a week old it should not need a new image?
    boxes are fussy with usb sticks used needing format fat32 and image extracted to usb.
    ones i use kingston,cruzer and integral 8gb in size.
    externally powered hdd use mains powered + usb inserted into box for recordings.

    so will box boot up without usb and hdd removed?

    No regret will not, I have two different kinds of usb stick formatted FAT32, image data extracted onto it but appears not to be recognised by box, and box will not boot. I have ordered new cruzer usb stick.

    The HDD is probably marked "dirty" and linux is trying to clean it before proceeding.

    I recommend you flash/install Openvix 5.1 002. You can obtain it from openvix.co.uk. Very few people on here use the 4D image. When I checked a few days ago, their last mage was from July.

    There is no need for bootloader flashes. Just flash/install the image
