I am trying to install a new drive in a MK2a and when I run the drive builder it won't find the player. I have tried both builders.

The player shows up in hyperterminal. Here is the log.

Is it just a single IBM 10GB drive in there?

Also the log is for the normal bootup as you've got hijack installed.

Yeah it's a 10GB it looks like the drive is being seen thats why I don't understand why the drive builder doesn't find the player.

What do you mean by "doesn't find the player"?

Well when I run the builder program it gets to finding unit apply power to your player now. I plug the player in and the program just stays at finding unit until it times out.

Is there anything else using the serial port when you're running the upgrader with the builder image?

Not that I know of is there a way to tell for sure ?

I guess it is working as you've got hyperterminal working. You are shutting Hyperterminal down before running the upgrader yet?
Are you using the latest emplode?

yep the terminal is closed It is the latest emplode also.

Errr.....

There isn't a "Drive Upgrader program" - there is the standard Updater, and when it asks for the firmware upgrade image file, you point it to a builder image. You need to make sure you use the right one for your player - don't confuse the Mk2 and Mk1 versions.

Once the builder image is loaded, and as long as you have the new disk installed as master, the builder should reboot, find the unformatted disk and start formatting it. After this, you re-update your player to whatever version of the player software you want with the appropriate image file as before.

If you are having problems with the Upgrader finding the player, then it implies you are using a duff serial cable of some sort. Are you using your original? Are you feeding it through any kind of 9-25 adaptor? You should be using a Null Modem cable, not a DTE DCE or other pinning.

Which software version have you got on there at the moment, Developer or Consumer? If it's Developer, can you break the boot with a Ctl-C and get a shell prompt from Bash? If you can then there's nothing wrong with the cable. If you can't, then either you have your term software settings wrong (115k, 8N1, NO handshaking) or the cable is duff.

Does it matter if hijack is installed?

HiJack is just the kernel, not the player software. I have successfully loaded the builder image on a player that already had HiJack, with no problems. It includes it's own kernel.

should the com port have any settings different than normal?

Theoretically, the upgrader application will set the com port settings for whatever it needs. But just in case, you can try going into the control panel and setting it to 115200 8n1 with no flow control.
