What kind of hard disk - usb or sata?
type 'fdisk -l' in telnet and post output here.
Also you may try to format and mount the disk manually.

 

[Gman2oo6]

for harddisc follow this

You need to write in telnet command:

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/hdd

after that you will find your media files in /mnt/hdd directory

good luck

Thanks for the replies.
This is what i get
cuberevo:~# 'fdisk -l'
-sh: fdisk -l: not found
cuberevo:~# fdisk -1
fdisk: invalid option -- 1
BusyBox v1.11.2 (2009-05-15 10:42:28 CEST) multi-call binary

Usage: fdisk [-ul] [-C CYLINDERS] [-H HEADS] [-S SECTORS] [-b SSZ] DISK

Change partition table

Options:
-u Start and End are in sectors (instead of cylinders)
-l Show partition table for each DISK, then exit
-b 2048 (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors
-C CYLINDERS Set number of cylinders/heads/sectors
-H HEADS

-S SECTORS
And
cuberevo:~# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/hdd
mount: mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/hdd failed: No such device or address
cuberevo:~#

Hope this is of some help regards.

@pippatron Mate, without even basic Linux knowledge, you should really consider buying another box, or at list not using early beta firmware like E2.
The command is 'fdisk -l' without quotes. and with l - like Luxembourg.
You should figure that yourself - is it in your last post... Help yourself, so we can help you.

Admitedly no previous linux knowledge but had a motorised system for over 10 years and just trying to move on with technology.
I managed to install E2 and have it running my motirised system with emulators installed and working an sat xml installed and configured.
I was just looking for alittle help not a smart comment regards.

Hi everyone,

i have the same problem.
I could manually mount the HD but then i do not have any directory structure.
Could you tell me where i can change the boot in order to mount the right partition?
and give me the directory structure which should be there to record ...?

thank you in advance

You could edit /etc/fstab file.
/hdd/movie should be sufficient for everything to work fine.
