1) You have your ATV with the internal drive that you're happy to wipe because XBMC is clearly superior to Frontrow, and getting better every other day.
2) You have your external drive with all your media on it.
3) You have your ATV booting up from a USB flash drive already.
4) You've copied the image file to your external media drive, and the file's just sitting there at the top folder of the drive, amongst your movies.
5) When you start up into XBMC and check your available drives, you get the drives listed in your photo, mounted exactly as you showed.
6) You've moved all your media off the internal drive because you know it's going to be wiped.
7) You have a backup of the internal drive (in case you want to revert) or you really don't care about going back.
If you can say "yes" to all of those, ssh into the machine while it's running XBMC from the flash drive and enter the following:
Code:sudo umount /media/pata
sudo dd if=/media/MediaHD/atv-usbboot-xbmcbuntu-crystalhd-hdmi-28256-R3.rar of=/dev/sda bs=16384
That'll put the XBMCbuntu image onto your internal drive. Then you need to edit the boot.plist. As liquidinsect said here:
Much appreciated mate. I will try this soon!
