hmmm,
I have continued with trying to get the original disc to a good state and the latest is, having taken the snapshots above, i setup the stock disc again. this time however there is no flashing led well no red/blue at least.... just a steady flashing blue led.
i wait a while... and after a good couple of minutes, i hear the drive almost kick into second gear and with that and a few flickers of the blue led goes off! no more led at all - just a drive still purring away...
So next i try to power down the drive via the rear button, and that worked too!
one obsrevation here is it remembers the last state it was in when power was removed clearly, when you resort to using the power lead to switch on it continues in the on state... when as now, you can power it down correctly via the button, starting it again it goes into standby mode.... perfect!
now i can try u-boot again and maybe test those commands from earlier... err.. ide reset & ide part?
how cool is that? i hope its what should be there...
now should i push it & try the same on the 2TB drive after all this is the one i'd like to end up with if possible?
B.T.W. has anyone managed to install plex with the new version? that's my media player of choice, but i see no mention of it so far??
