Ive got the same drive blue peter, im trying to get it to work on the blackhole 6 image but the DM800 just doesnt see it, the drive is powering itself up but no luck, I cant get the box to format/initiliase either because it cant see it, is there a way to format it on a PC then install it in the DM800?

Dean sat thanks for replying im really struggling with this could you please give me a step by step on how to do this with DCC would I have to do it by telnet? Thanks again

Yes m8 open DCC then connect as normal click on telnet then tick HDD click on Unmount, click Run then click on Mount and Run and then click on Format and Run
That is it if all is well

Use DCC v2.95
In configuration on left hand side under equipment tick harddisc
Then in telnet on left hand side tick HDD
All the best Dean.
