Hello, I have replaced the original 10GB HD in one of my players with a Fujitsu 40GB HD (straight swap) but I was unable to get the disk builder upgrade to finish, it kept taking a long time to do the pump part, then finally came up with an error at stage 0x20. So I followed Roger's instructions here to manually partition the drive, which appears to have worked. After rebooting the player to follow the next stage instructions here, I can't seem to get past the pump prompt, and when I do hit Ctrl-A to get the pump> prompt, I can't do anything there, and the player display shows 'no HD found contact support'. Can anyone help me get any further please? Boot log is here: (Sorry for the messy output, it is what shows up in hyperterm)

You don't do anything at the pump prompt; that's for the upgrader. You should just load a developer player image onto the empeg, and then format the disk from there.

Hi Roger,
the above boot info was taken after loading the car2-developer-v2.01-final.upgrade on to the player, it boots OK up to the pump prompt, then just hangs instead of automatically continuing on to the developer prompt where you can issue play commands or get to the bash shell.
I hooked up the original 10GB drive to the same connector (I hadn't erased anything on the original drive) and it boots right through and plays songs OK, so the cable appears to be fine, which is what I assumed considering I was able to partition the new drive.
If I can't get it to boot far enough to get a prompt up to format the new drive, I guess I will have to try hooking the new drive up to a PC via an adaptor and formatting it via Knoppix or something, would that work?
Thanks.

Perhaps you should just start over, and use the newer "bigdisk" builder image to format the drive. It should generally work better than the older builders.

Hi Mark, Will the builder_bigdisk_v3.upgrade program work with the standard empeg kernel or only the Hijack kernel? It is slightly confusing in the file description here whether it includes the Hijack v488 kernel, or just supports it. Thanks.

Big disks (more than 120GB or so) work *only* with Hijack kernels.
The bigdisk builder images have built-in Hijack kernels.
Disks built with bigdisk that are smaller than 128GB will work with "regular" kernels as well as with Hijack kernels.
EDIT: there also now exist *experimental* bigdisk builders, which are labelled as such. Those ones lay out the drive in a form which requires a Hijack kernel from that point onward. Don't use those unless you have a big drive.

Thanks Mark, that big disk builder did the trick, now I have a Hijacked Empeg! Loading mp3s right now!
The instructions in the FAQ suggest the big disk builder upgrade is only necessary for drives >120GB, maybe the FAQ should be updated if this builder works better for all size disks?

I just read the Drive Upgrade Guide, and it's very clear that you should use the bigdisk builder for drives that are 40-60 GB or larger. Where it talks about >120, it's talking about the player firmware upgrade file, which is a different thing. I'm pretty sure it's accurate right now, unless Mark tells me otherwise.

You are right Tony, I just got confused by the different size limits mentioned in various places, ranging from 40-60GB, 60GB, >120GB, 128GB, 160GB. I am easily confused.  Anyway, my player is working great again, and I can fit my entire collection on it now (until further CD purchases!). Thanks to everyone for their help.
