    Exclamation Trouble installing a 250G WD into DM600

    Hi bought a 250gig WD ide laptop drive to install into my DM600. Tried connecting it, it sees the drive but hangs when on format command in pli Jade 3. Tried formatting in laptop in NTFS which works but still won't work in DM600. What format should the drive be formatted in if it makes a difference. Thanks

    Use Swissknife and format Fat32 under Windows

    If it's a clone the supplied IDE hard disk ribbon cable with the red stripe is not necessay pin 1 ( the plug fits on both ways )

    Off the top of my head it's something like: browse to recorded program through the dm menu, high lite it, hit menu and select delete.

    Another way is to telnet to the box, cd to the directory & then use rm command (good way to start learning a bit of linux too).
