Still no go....
Mark Lord did email me with a solution, he believes I have a corrupted filesystem, and a corrupted music database.
He sent me this list of set of FTP commands:

   site rw

   cd /empeg/var

   del tags

   del playlists

   del database

   site ro

   quit

But for some reason I am un-able to FTP in. FTP is running, as the output to HyperTerminal does show "kftpd: listening on port 21".

Since then I have re-flashed my empeg with the developers image & Hijack in an attempt to do this. But again no sucess, I can't seem to get a q sent, I have no problem sending Ctrl-A (pump, and no i did nothing and left, eh?) or Ctrl-T (tested fine).

So what are my options?
I have e-mailed support, but they would not have recived the e-mail till friday afternoon local time, I'm not expecting any replies from them till Monday or so. (Is it a bank holiday on Monday in the UK? I know it is in Ireland).

Apart from that then only other option I belive there is, is to start from scratch and use a hard disk builder image to wipe the drive.....

I'm going to let this ride for the weekend, as I am away from my home computer till Sunday evening. May being on home ground will make thing work....I don't know.

Anyway, attached is the HyperTerminal output from having the developer image installed.

Thanks.
