The hdd goes in standby mode if not used in 10minutes (can be modified). But I think if you want to use it, if it's in standby, it will automatically be available!

What do you want to do when the hdd is in standby? Try the mediaplayer from menu and go across your hdd, you will have acess to it...

I want to record something and it doesnt do it if its after 10-15 minutes. I have change the setting and i choose '' No Standby '' but even like that it does the some thing. The only way to let me record it is only after i will restart the Vu+ solo.

As wrote Mebken, you have to upgrade the boot loader before to install the BH 1.7.2
Here you can find all informations you need to upgrade the boot loader: http://vuplus-community.net/board/threads/vu-solo-boot-loader-updgrade.4358/

You have to try! it's a new image (a nice one, I test it personnaly on a VUSOLO) and known bugs are corrected!

hi do you think that BH 1.7.2 will solve my problem with hdd ? Thanks
I don't know if your issue will be solved.
Moreover, you didn't specificate what kind of HDD you have and how it's powered.

to change standby time you have two possibilities..first one, as you said blue panel...the second one menu, system and hard disk...
have you already tried to set standby as well from this menu?

I am using a FreeAgent™ Desktop 250-GB USB 2.0 Drive and it has its own power plug. Thanks

yes i have tried this as well. But what makes me curious is when i m trying from the blue panel -settings - hard disk - it shows the status of the HDD , and the status is always'' STANDBY '' and it doesnt let me to change this.
