I purchased a new hard drive cable thinking that may be the problem. I am using the 10GB drive that came with the player, and also tried a 30GB drive . When power is applied to the player neither of the drives spin up, not sure if they are supposed to.

The light on the front blinks on/off , the blue light and there is a red light inside the player that stays lit.
