AAF Maxiboot Installer v1.5 - not showing HDD partitions

[ManikM]

I have a strange problem with the above tool, when i connect to my ICE with Maxiboot, its showing SDA1 (the HDD) but not showing my partitions. (configured to run E2 from HDD)

Also, if i plug a usb stick in, and then reboot, and connect via Maxiboot installer, it then sees SDB1 - BUT.... if i right click either of the disks, i can partition them ok, but it then doesn't show them up (even after a reboot) - in the right hand pane.



any ideas?!

I think it might be to do with EXT2 partitions, i dont think the software sees them. I will try EXT3 when i get home, and update.

Cheers!

C:\Program Files\Maxiboot Installer\logs\mi.log file

look here, can anyone suss the problem?

thanks

i think clue is in the question "tar: write error: No space left on device" is the culprit....

i will remove all my plugins first, if that doesnt work, i will reflash my firmware and do a factory reset to see if that creates enough space.

[ManikM]

YES! it worked, i cleared some crap out of /var and it now works...

cool
