Why not just dual boot your Windows pc, would come in handy in times like this

AlonzoHarris wrote: » Hi folks, what's the best way to run an fsck on an external 2Tb usb drive attached to the aa2? I'm getting some IO errors on some folders, looks like corruption. When the box is running, it's hard to umount the drive as there are many processes running on it. Has anyone run an fsck?

I downloaded the recovery spark image and the box seemed to go through the process of ld followed by a number sequence and eventually came to succ. But on the reboot its staying on load for some reason. I had champions image working fine earlier and decided to try a different image and thats when the initial problems started. New to Amiko but have had Dreambox for a few years.

If you are using the Spark plugin, it can seem to load ok but misses a bit if the enigma flash files or the folder containing them are wrongly named. Don't have any spaces or other weird characters in file/folder names. Make sure your USB for flashing is FAT32 EDIT: You can download more flash instructions here.

Read on here that I may need 1.2.51 firmware but cannot find it online. Would anyone have a copy of it to hand?
