As my original post states, I am upgrading one of the drives of my 2-drive MK2. Meaning, I had before two drives. I am replacing one of them with a new bigger drive. At this point I pulled both of the original drives out of the Empeg, plugged only the new one in, with the jumper removed (since on the drive itself there is a chart showing device0 as no-jumper). Then I loaded the car2-builder image, which is supposed to be designed to format the drive. The upgrader software on my PC went through its thing...including it did that partition pump stuff (which seemed odd to me since the drive hasn't been formated yet). The drive was previously used as a WindowsXP drive and has that junk on it, maybe it confused things because of that? In any case, when the screen on my PC said it was finished, I unplugged the power to Empeg and restarted it, with hyperterminal on.
At that point it did NOT go into any format mode. It flashed a bunch of boot up ascii text up the terminal within about 10 seconds (none of which included lines abuot formatting the disk and some of which had errors reported), then went into the health check that its supposed to do after formatting. I can do it again and copy and past the text if there is someone savvy in here you might know what is going on.
I thought maybe it worked and I didn't know it. so I tried to put the normal car-developer image back and tried to boot up, with hyperterminal on (this is all exactly according to the procedures explained on riocar.org's HD upgrade page). At that point there were errors I didn't understand showing up on the hypterminal. It looked more or less like things didn't work right so now I'm in a holding pattern.
Here is the hyperterminal output I see when trying to install the car2-builder image(which is supposed to format the HD)
