Hi all!

Tonight I finally bit the bullet : I've received my IBM 48gig travelstar a figured I'd install it.
So I opened up the player, hesitated somewhat when I saw the warranty seals, broke them, removed the IBM 10gig that was already there.
Put the second HD in it's place like the FAQ states.
Attached the serial cable, created the hyperterminal profile (which worked).
The I uploaded the "car2.builder.upgrade" file to the player, and that's where things turned sour.
The empeg did some stuff, finishing with "finding pump (preparing first HD)" and then produced an error after that : "Bad pump response to device select, occured during stage 0x20"
DAMN!
Oh well, I figured. Maybe it's a DOA drive (I hadn't -heard it spin up till then), so I figured I's upload the 1.03 player software again and re-connect the original 10gig HD.

When I uploaded that 1.03 soft however, that 48gig came alive. The player recognised it so I guess there wasn't something wrong with it after all.

So I tried it again, uploaded the HD builder image. Same thing happed as described above (at least it's consistent...)

So what am I doing wrong here? I'm following the FAQ completely as it's described. I was VERY careful when I removed everything. I'm very sure I didn't damage anything.
(though I know the Empeg is something different, I've been building PC's for more than 8 years now, so I AM somewhat knowledgeable in this area)

Am I missing something obvious here?

HELP!
