Is it possible to recover Barry Allen.?
Yesterday I woke only to find my cs wasn't working so I did a reboot but instead of having the Barry Allen screen come up it booted straight into the flash image.. usually another reboot and Barry Allen is back but it still booted into the flash image.
I have rebooted about 10 times and Barry Allen is not working... I had BA installed on my hard drive.
Help me please as all my CS settings are within the main image.

Can you run from the flash image then look in the HDD with FTP and find your config settings in the BA image?

mnt > media then you should see BA USB and HDD as options.

Use DCC and you will be ok.

All I can see in mount media is usb and hdd and in both of them is an info file when viewed there is the number 1 but nothing else .. no reference to BA.:ack2:

If you have no file even called ba then you have a problem, you may have to do a fresh install of your flash image with Barry Allen again.

Ok it seems my hard drive became corrupt somehow,hence the reason for no BA.
I have reinitialised the hard drive and I have to start again. :beatdeadhorse5:
One quick question if installing BA on a usb pen what do I format the pendrive ...fat32 or ext3.?

I think the dreambox erases it automatically, it certainly did to my compact flash before installing BA. (With Kathrein I always did FAT32)
Have you read my post "Barry Allen nightmare" Sonic has some very good tips on there.

Fatbloke - have a look at several posts here I have made re BA - v 4.8.2 does NOT work on HDD!

Thanks for all your help everyone.
Old Fart was right about BA not liking the hard drive..I installed again and put BA on a compact flash and all is ok again now.:respect-059:
