I see what you mean mate.

Never done this as i have never needed to or seen the point of doing so, but you must have you reasons. If i get a chance over the weekend ill have a play with telnet and see if i can figure out the commands.

Thanks MR Ferret my reasons are simple I have no space in internal HDD so I decided to buy a external HDD 1T. I can see in the devicemanager the HDD but I can not install I have open new folder movie in the media/usb but is no posible to install??

there seems to be only 1x sata port on the motherboard i.e. when installing the internal drive, you have to disconnect the cable for the eSata connector.

In Summary, it would not appear feasible, unless you use an external USB drive. But i don't know how the quality of HD playback would be on a USB drive. (wouldn't waist my time trying to find out to be honest)

/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /media/usb auto defaults 0 0
