Well, for the first time my eMpeg has decided to give me problems. It decided to just say No Hard Disk found. I played it fine this morning, I synced a few CDs worth and then unplugged it. After half an hour I wanted to upload some more tunes. Then it just sat there and died. I heard the disk spin as normal...
Problem is I am driving to Atlanta (DragonCon) tomorrow morning so I do not have time to diagnose or fix it...
Just posting so people can pity me and help me when I return once I get the log, etc.

Thanks, guys. I read the FAQ and I had fun at DragonCon (who can not have fun when you get hugged by Tricia Helfer!). I have taken it apart and I do not really see anything obvious. The cable is glued on. The cable may need to be crimped better, though. I can't tell if any solder joints are broken or not...If there are, I am screwed unless someone can repair it for me... Here is the result of me connecting it to HyperTerminal: Quote:

Greetings! Quote:

That little tidbit shows that the hard drive or drives have not been found at all. So, it could be the cable, it could be the cable plugged into the main board (did you give it a test to feel if it had worked its way loose?), the cable could have failed or the header could have failed. So my recommendation is to try a quick troubleshoot: verify that the cable is firmly plugged into the mainboard. If that is okay, let us know what color is on the ribbon cable. A reddish / pink ribbon cable (on the first wire) is a sign that it might be from the bad batch. If so, take a digital photo of the connector on the drive and post it.
Are you nearby any other members that can look at it?

I checked all the connections and they look solid. I did not notice anything loose and I pressed down a little to make sure. Same goes for the connection to the drive.Quote:

It has a black stripe on the cable.Quote:

I do not think so. Anyone live in Charleston, SC?

Jon Bjorgen is in Hartsville, but that's hardly next door, and he's off to New Orleans right now anyway.

Does the drive spin up? Maybe the drive itself is bad. You mentioned that it still had the hot glue on the connector. That means it was an original 30GB drive, so it is a few years old.
Do you have a spare player that you can test with? Or a spare laptop drive that you do not care too much about?

I believe it does as I do hear a noise when I plug it in. I will double check tonight, though, by listening closer.Quote:

It is an 18GB drive.

No but I have half a mind to buy a large one on the chance it is the drive and just upgrade to that.

18GB. Even older. I thought I read that it was a 30... No matter. It is still an older drive and might have failed.

I guess I can try hooking it to a PC and see what happens...

The important thing is what flavour - it was mainly Fujitsu 18/20s and 30Gs ( especially the 30s) that failed. Let us know which make it is, and what noise it makes on power up. Listen for The Click Of Death.

It is an IBM Travelstar. The noise it makes is a couple of clicks, a little scratching, a couple of clicks, a little scratching and then nothing.

That does not sound that good. I hope you have a backup of your music on your local system. It might be time to replace / upgrade the drive.

I have all my MP3s backed up on CDs/DVDs so I have no qualms about replacing the drive if needed...Now, I guess I need to get a new drive and hope that is the end of my problems... Any suggestions for a brand/model?

For the most part, any make or model laptop hard drive will do. Rotation speed is not that important in this application, so older (cheaper) drives are not an issue. Please check out the Drive Upgrade FAQ for step by step on how to do this.

Sorry, it''s dead. It sounds like the platter motor is failing to spin up.
Since you have nothing more to lose at this point, you can try one trick I have used successfully a couple of times on Travelstars: hold the empeg horizontally in your left hand, and using your right hand, plug in the AC adaptor at the back. Immediately you hear the drive click, thump the SIDE of the player horizontally with the flat of your right hand once, maybe twice, HARD. If you do it at the right time, it may spin up giving you an opportunity to get your music off it. Good luck.
You will in any case be needing a new drive, unforch.

Are you nuts?  I'll pass on that method, thanks, as all my music is backed up already.Quote:

Yeah... As an update, I ordered 1 drive. I'll get it this weekend so I'll be replacing it and hoping it works fine. During the week, I'll be removing the old drive since the cable was glued on.

It lives Lives LIVES!!!!
The drive arrived yesterday and I immediately put it in and plugged it in for the Disk Builder upgrade. At first I thought it was not working because the drive made no noise or anything (my old drive always made some little noise like most drives do when spinning up or reading/writing). The upgrade started going and I must say it took forever. Finally it finished and I turned Hyperterminal on and saw it format the drive and started doing its stress test. I let it go for 3 hours.
Now, I am off to the hardware store to get some of those washers and make sure the drive screws are long enough with the washer on them.
I am sort of wishing I bought two drives now...
Thanks everyone. For awhile there I thought it was the end of my empeg and dreaded going back to CD...

It will continue to do the stress test forever. It sounds like maybe the builder didn't take the first time. I bet it's fine now. Try loading a normal player image and see what happens.
Also, there's a complete drive upgrade guide that covers stuff like this.
Edit: Oops. Yeah. Paul (below) is correct.

...is that you do not have enough memory to be able to build the hard drive. This is an interesting issue - basically we have to override the builder script, enable swap and then build the drive manually. Is it possible to CTRL-C out of any of the build steps to get to a shell prompt?

If the disk hasn't been built yet, what are you going to enable swap on?

That's the fun bit. The disk has been partially built. The root, scratch and swap partition are all there and should be okay. It is the music partition that is the issue - the filesystem build failed because there was not enough RAM to create it. It is a Mark2 12MB empeg trying to build a filesystem on a 100GB drive...
Is this drive currently bootable / did you load the player software? What kind of problems were you seeing that made you reflash. If you see: a bootable player that you cannot sync to or play any music from, you likely have a functioning root partition and swap. You might be able to boot into the standard kernel, break into shell, enable swap and create the music filesystem manually.
Steps to do this: (capture the session, please)
1) Make sure the 2.0 developer kernel is loaded.
2) Boot the empeg with hyperterm.
3) q to quit the player application and get to shell.
4) swapon /swapfile
5) Follow these steps for formatting and creating directories on the music partition. [Note: hdc4 assumes that the target is the second drive. For the primary drive, use hda4.]
6) rom; ro; exit
The player application will reload. I would recommend powering off and reflashing the 2.0 developer kernel again, just out of paranoia (should not be needed). Reboot the player and examine the boot log.
Edits: Lots of detail and supporting data added and some corrections entered.

Trying it now...Do I have to do the Initialising the swap partition or the Initialising the dynamic data partition sections?
I retried the disk builder upgrade because I could not sync but the empeg booted fine and had the visuals and all. So, I assumed it was installed but something was missing.

You should just need to do the music partition section.

Ok...this is everything... First is the manual making of the music partition. I improvised when it said the mount was busy/already mounted as /drive0 and did as it showed on that page...Hopefully that was correct...if not I will re do it again....

Brutal formatting on the post, though...
Congratulations, you just fixed your player. The error you
saw was normal use. You should be all set at this point.
What you did was use what portion of the build worked (root,
swap and scratch) to get into the player and build the music
filesystem by hand. The error you saw about the filesystem
already mounted was because (I forgot) the rwm would have
remounted /drive0 read/write. This would have worked since
the filesystem was then built at the time.
You should be fully functional at this point. You may just
want to do an fsck set when you get time, just to clear the
marker on the root partition.
Edit: Tony - a recommendation for the disk upgrade FAQ. If
people cannot build their new drives due to memory limits,
this procedure can be used to finish the build job. This
worked on a Mark2 with a 100GB drive - it might work with a
Mark1 as well. As drives get bigger, this will be more
common.

I'm trying to take a stand and, each time this comes up,
whine and moan and complain and:
a. Beg someone at empeg to make a proper builder image
that works with big drives...
b. Beg someone to somehow hack the existing builder image to
make it work, or...
c. Beg Mark Lord to build large-disk diskbuilding into Hijack
or somehow help us by coming up with another solution.
We really need something. Really really.

Well, unlike the player image, there's no copyrighted data that would need to be included in a builder image, so this should be doable. Let's see. You'd need a kernel that had its root image on a ramdisk, the ramdisk itself containing a simple binary to do the following: create the partitions, turn on the swap partition, create the music filesystem, and burn in the filesystem, if desired. (I don't think we have to create the root filesystem, as the upgrade does that for us.) So the total things you'd need are the kernel, that init binary (or sh and a script, possibly), fdisk, swapon, mkfs, and dd and rm (or something to burn in with). Not a piece of even remotely copyrighted software there.

Yes, for the first time in two weeks I did not have to sing to myself for my 35 minute commute! Thanks for everything!!!!

It looks to me like you have built a second drive, bigger than 40G, using the original builder image, and then cabled it in as slave.
When you add content to your player, the player distributes it across the disks it has available, and then records the meta data (tags, name, location etc) in the static database.
If you have simply shoved a new disk in in place of a dead second drive, it is now complaining that it can't find the tracks it expected to be there (from the old one).
You need to build this disk by hand using the instructions on Roger's website (www.differentpla.net) instead of using the builder. This will take a bit of command line magic using an installed developer image. You will then have to re-build the track database, which you can find in the FAQ.
