    The LEDS under the HDD on the Linux backbone remain red, if it's the LEDs towards the metal tray (thingy). Without images this is a nightmare lol.

    Send a picture, we can confirm by comparing against the guide images or any others on the many AG Tool threads. However, it doesn't sound good for the HDD. Wiped, you'll have to hope someone is willing to provide the necessary images. Regrettably I have sold my last units and no longer own a Tool so can't help with that at present.

    As I have a missing image on that, is this your image or Assemblers?

    Just ensure you connect to the correct post.

    It's assembler image (i save it add an arrow and host it on image......us)
    I can't access HDD under windows (with ext2/3 software) i tried a Backtrack live cd and it doesn't detect the HDD (I use and IDE to USB adapter)

    I think HDD are empty but i'm not sure
    What do you use parris to check your TOOL's HDD ?

    Sure the jumpers are set correctly? I couldn't obviously read the data on mine, but the Win XP PC detected them so I could format and use Linux to dump the images in. The HDD perhaps badly damaged?

    windows detect the HDD but it doesnt mount it even if i use some software like this one http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html
    I think i can format it but before i want to be sure that there is nothing i can backup on it
    Another question, how big are the dump for the HDD ??

    The 8 dipswitches are set corectly (I change the 5 to Down for PAL)
    HDD jumper are set to Master for both

    It would depend upon the source of the images and how they compressed it etc, but if the 2 internal HDD are fried just replace like for like. The 2 x Sony HDD are Maxtor drives just rebadged (40Gb each).

    OE, I've sold everything off mate (only got my beloved MS stuff left). It was getting stupid, the lock-up was stuffed. I came to the conclusion that if something had sat for 6 months and never been switched on, I could probably live without it, which is why I am potentially selling off all the MS stuff soon too. A 360, a PS3 and my DS (wife keeping the Wii) and that'll be me happy.

    I've gone all arcade.

    indeed! I do however have certain discs you might still be interested in (genuine of course) as I've yet to finish / sell that bloody Playstation 1 dev kit. It was the straw that broke the camels back!

    Sorry for taking this OT.
