if you just follow the guide how to prepare a new hard disk for spd8020 and should be fine
Seems your problem is that you don't have a firmware disk image as there was no disk in your spd8020, and if you have the disk image file and the other files as you described on partitions sda1 and sda2 then you clearly did not follow the guide on this point how to write this image to sda1 and sda2 and just copied over the files :disapprove thats not the right way
Indeed you can subtract this from the firmware upgrade file. The xx.bin file is bz2 compressed archive and you can uncompress it using
tar -xjvf firmware-file.bin
You will find several small files and one big one with extension .img of 150 MB (or 200 MB or 250 MB in newer versions). That is the disk image you need for sda1 and sda2.
In your case using 10-1 upgrade file it is the file with name fvdw-sl-10-1-phn-19nov2011.img
This file you need to write sda1 and sda2 using the "dd" command (so not simple copy command)
- Code: Select all
dd if=/path-to/fvdw-sl-10-1-phn-19nov2011.img of=/dev/sdb1
do this also for sdb2
path-to must be replaced by the path were you stored the .img file
IMPORTANT I assumed sdb is the disk you are preparing for the spd8020. Be sure that you use the right name. If you apply this command and write to the wrong disk then..well you know what will happen...you might wipe out your harddisk containing windows
Furthermore don't forget to set the boot flag on sda1 or sda2 otherwise it won't boot as the boot loader of the spd8020 looks to the flag which partition to use to load the firmware.
You will also need the files for sda5
Those you can find here

For your convenience I added the guide once more how to prepare a new hard disk for the spd8020
