Sorry for the late reply, i went ahead and removed xbmc live and installed Ubuntu Netbook edition, hoping that might fix it..still no luck!
Went to terminal and typed in lsusb and mount, see below what i got

any ideas?

the first thing to try after a reboot with it plugged in:
Code:
lsusb
mount
sudo mkdir /media/xbmc-test
ll /media
sudo mount /devsdb2 /media/xbmc-testgood luck,

good luck,
okay, turned on the acer, plugged the Hard Drive in and ran terminal upon start up..first time i did it, it didn't work for some reason, refusing to show anything after typing ll/media
anyway, below are the results after starting terminal again and trying it

^ i'm confused. from the above mount output it says /dev/sdb2 is mounted on /media/XBMC.what does
ll /media/XBMC yield.
can you post the output of df -h
edit:
oh wait there is a typo; it should be /dev/sdb2.

okay, after entering the code in terminal, hard drive flashed..
i turned off the acer, turned it back on and viola! the hard drive automatically started as well!
tried it a number of times and looks like it is working now
wow thanks dude! appreciate the advice and support.
Out of curiosity, what was wrong? not as tech savvy on the coding but it would be good to know what was going wrong and what your method did to fix it..
any idea what could've caused this?
thanks!
- schneidz - 2010-08-05
not quite sure what command you ran that woke it up ?
it probably was some power save mode that makes the harddrive inaccessible until you ping it.

I have a (relatively) old version of XBMC installed on my Revo, How do i go about finding out what version i have? and How do i update to the newest version, don't particularly fancy having to wipe and re-install, took quite a while to get it set up as i want it.
I'm interested in watching BBC Iplayer on it, which as i understand has been re-instated in the newer versions?
Thanks in advance

i am curious about these questions as well. Also when i installed XBMC live on my revo i don't believe i ever updated the codecs. how would i go about doing that now if i wanted to? I just dont wanted to mess anything up...took me forever to set it all up.

I guess I am having a different problem, started my revo from usb, great - hit ctrl/alt/f1, goes to login screen, username - xbmc, then goes to pwd, and refuses to take any keyboard commands. Then just rotates to login every 60 seconds.
Help ?
- schneidz - 2010-08-17
login=xbmc
password=xbmc (password wont echo)
- Henchmanc - 2010-08-19
Sorry if this was covered. But I can't possibly read through the 68 pages, or search out the term correctly in this post. How do I connect the wireless keyboard and mouse that came with my 3600? I'm using XBMC Pre-10.5 r31542 (7/1/2010) on Linux 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP (June 11). BTW, not a Linux user. So please, step by step if you could.

^ mines worked automatically. maybe there is some interference with your setup ?
(there should be a small usb receiver that plugs into the pc... (i think it is in the mouse battery compartment).

Why, yes there is... Thank You so much!
Has anybody else run across these flashing green screens? - Yousty - 2010-08-22
For some reason random files I try to play will give me the following flashing green screen:
The audio and even the subtitles will work fine, but for some reason it can't decode the video. The problem is I have no idea what could be causing it because I will play files with the exact some compression format and have no problems whatsoever. The few files that have done it were h.264 codec and some were AVIs and others were MKVs. The same thing also happens when I try to play any video through the youtube plugin. What's even weirder is that I only get the flashing green screen when I try and play them on my Revo, I tried them all on a Win7 version of XBMC and they played perfectly. Could it be HDMI related? Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
