I am pretty sure I did try and found no movement whatsoever. Its not just with any one item. Its a paperweight.
I have recently read it can take up to several minutes to do a survey of all things, but i'm not sure if its a one time, or everytime thing, and it wasn't long before I could watch, or do anything before.
BTW
Its getting late, but as far as reset procedure goes, what do I need to do? Power on/off, HDD connected/ not connected, and HDD (Dock) power on/off? Actually according to the pdf manual it gives two ways of "reset": system reset through the GUI menu, or use a paperclip (for ten seconds. Are they the same?
I would hope/think that at least my firmware revision is up to the task of upgrading with this 500GB HDD. The file (I think its a zip file) is like 12MB. I have a 128MB thumb drive I could use. Its gonna be a 5 minute job, ok?
I was gonna do a firmware up soon, but thought I'd see if I'd found a problem first, or if I caused it.
Maybe i'll try a small media file in the thumb drive while I'm at it.
