I started getting the No Hard Drive Found-Contact Support message and figured I had a hosed drive. I checked the header and connections. I then tried to re initalize (format?) the drive.
I get the following error.

Error "Couldn't find pump" occurred during stage 0x22

I have tried three drives. They are all fairly small from 12 to 20 gig.

I can then put the developer software back on but get the same No Drive Found as originally was.
Anyone care to tell me what I'm doing wrong? Suggestions? or is the player ready for the bin.
Thanks!

PS This is at the end of the HiJack log after I reinstalled the empeg software and Hijack kernal:
