Did you try to power-on it again? As far as I remember, a bad or
empty smalldb does NOT kill the RK; instead, when it is switched
on and it finds no or bad smalldb, it automatically starts Rescan
Music, after which the RK is again fully functional. The only
downside is that all the info that was only in the the smalldb
but not in the *1 files (notably play counts) is lost.
Hi Ev
I did try and power-on again - several times. Each time the karma went into
the same cycle.
And then if that doesn't work I'll hit it very hard.
Don't do it! Your trouble is 99.9% probably software/firmware
caused. As a very last resort I think you should take the disk
out of the RK and fix the bad isuues by connecting it directly to
the IDE of your computer.
Yeah - I bought a 2.5"-3.5" IDE adapter today so I'll have it available for
any future emergencies
Please let us know how it goes...
Details in other emails...
