Thanks, zen2000 and iPhone -- Ah, now whether or not to use the USB hub(!) OK, could you please detail the exact sequence that you carried out with connecting the drive and the factory reset, etc.? I have done quite a few resets now in between connecting the drive and scanning. I presume the sequence is (and this is what I have been doing): eject drive; push reset button at back and wait a few seconds for startup sequence; configure the ethernet connections again; reconnect drive; and wait for scan to finish. There appears to be differing opinions as to whether to use a mains-powered USB hub or just to connect the drive directly to the back of the SBT. zen2000 -- what power options have you set your Seagate Go drive to? Thanks everyone. -- SomersetGuy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SomersetGuy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38022 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78323 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
