Hi Roger,

I decided to do this now. It seemed to work.

This is the serial port string...



Before:

Hijack: intercepting config.ini

player.cpp : 385:empeg-car 2.01 2004/07/06.
! tags.cpp : 61:Failed to open tags (0xc0041002).



q
Restored terminal settings
Remounting first music partition read-only
Remounting second music partition read-only
Player exited normally: 0
Switching to shell-player loop
Starting bash.
empeg:/empeg/bin# rwm
empeg:/empeg/bin# logout
Shell exit
Starting player
Timezone: GB
Hijack: intercepting config.ini

player.cpp : 385:empeg-car 2.01 2004/07/06.
! tags.cpp : 61:Failed to open tags (0xc0041002).
Prolux 4 empeg car - 2.1434 Jul 5 2004
Vcb: 0x4086d000

After the rwm and Ctrl+D....

Emplode sees it correctly as well.

Looks like it wasn't able to build the database as you had suspected. Don't know why exactly, glad you helped me through it though.

What's the best way to copy the drives (is there a command within the player to make a copy from one drive to the other)?

Thanks again,

Ross
