Hi again,
It looks like the thread here contains all the answers:
http://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=2&Number=308702The first time I installed the drive builder, I used the car2-builder image and appear to have run into the same pump error mentioned in that thread. While searching for answers, I came across the builder_bigdisk_v3 builder and used that, which worked.
Also, using the commands posted in the thread, I was able to remove the fids and reboot and I now have a nice clean empeg ready for songs!
I think I feel brave enough to attempt a drive upgrade. Now it's time to find a good upgrade drive!
