Hi, I have added my harddisk according to all rules and guide lines. Didn't find it under systems, tried to shut down and boot up again with LAN connected. Couldn't get new update for the machine.

Found the harddisk under Blue Panel and device manager but after initialization I get no primary partition is marked bootable. This doesn't matter for LILO, but the DOS MBR will not boot this disk.
What does all this mean?

Also when going back one step in the meny and press ok I get that harddisk is sleeping and with a warning drive is not in database.

What shall I do to get my 320GB disk to work?

okay but how do I get my harddisk to work so I can use it?
There is still no sign of it under system!

correct, no hard disk is shown when you use menu/installation/system
yes tried to record, only shows available 22.5 MB
just ftp'd from PC to dreambox and no hard disk listed in root

don't know why but I tried to record even though I only had 22,5MB free and then all the sudden the dreambox used the hard disk, so now it is working as it should, no problems at all except that I still can't see it under menu/installation/system

any ideas on how to get that to work?
