What does it mean? Call me a pessimist, but it sounds like you have bad news for me about my hard drive?


There is something wrong with either specific sectors on the hard disk, or there is something wrong with the connection to the hard disk, such as the IDE header problem Genixia mentioned. Was that one of the things you checked carefully for?

Hmm, isn't the player software on the root partition, ie in flash?


To my knowledge, only the kernel is in flash, and the player software is on the hard disk. His empeg is getting far enough to load at least some of the player software, then it gives some hard disk errors. I don't know enough about what the errors mean to know what the issue is with the hard disk.
