    I formated the maxtor hard drive on the computer.
    whene I plug it in to the sv8000 says no device connected.
    I tryed a hard reboot several times and still nothing.

    Tips to remember when asking for help in the forums:


    When asking a question,you should follow these minimum requirements

    1.What Satellites you are aiming at.
    2.Your Receiver Brand/Model
    3.What version of software you have loaded on it,
    ("the latest version" is NOT an acceptable answer)
    4.What dish and lnb type you have.
    ("a plain lnb" is not a proper answer)
    5.Any switches you have inline. (name the brand/type)
    6.What settings you currently have setup.
    7.What you have tried so far(Detailed steps)
    8.Other things pertinent to your specific question
    may also be needed and included.


    To post a reply you must follow these guidelines

    1. Your answer must be pertinent to the originators question.
    (do not answer a question posted by someone else in this thread,(dont reply to hijacker)
    2.No bashing the member or question. (we were all newbies at one time)
    3.Do not reply to a hijackers question.
    4.Post no files in discussion area.You may post a link to a file you
    upload in the proper files section.


    A properly stated question would look something like this.

    I am running a Viewsat Extreme with version 070522x software loaded.
    I have a dish500 with a twin Dp lnb.
    I have 119 set on diseqc port1 with LNB selected as OCS-DP
    and 110 on port2 again OCS-DP selected.
    no other switches inline.
    My question is,why cant I get 91 when i select it from the list?

    Following this template will greatly increase the chances of a solution

    Default Re: sv8000 error: no device connected, when I plug in hard drive

    make sure the drive is format with FAt32 not NTFS. if you are using a windows OS you can format any drive over 32 GB with FAT32. if this is the case delete the partition on the hard drive and use the format feature on the SV8000
