i made it work with a 2GB usb, but still not working with 8GB

Format that 8GB on your PC at FAT32. The only limitation will be max. file size - 4GB. It doesn't matter for your needs. If the stick will not work, is not compatible with Solo2. Please, post the model of stick. Thanks.

:grin:

Install HDD and connect it internally, you don't have to do nothing (prepare,...) it will be recognized by the system, next format in ext3 and mount it as media/hdd

I connect it internally but it wasn't recognized by the system. What's wrong?
Is it need extra cable for power?

Why do I loose my usb? It has happened many times, I've done everything as you said, format usb-map usb and so on. Later when I go to device manager, usb was not showing. After 10 restarts it appears and after it vannishes. Has anyone had the same problem. My receiver is Vu+ solo image 2.0.1 Black hole. I use usb for epg, picons, subtitles.
I've also read somewhere that if you update your image online, there is problems with usb. Is this true? Have tried different usb's but the same thing happens.

If you're using a USB-only for epg, picons, subtitles ??.
then you can use FAT32 PC windows format
and just make a mount without formatting
Then must work.

But FAT32 you cannot use for Multiboot with Meoboot.

You will have to format your usb as two partitions in the BH menu, format usb and mount usb in device manager and that' it.
