LOL I fubar'd the process of installing the image on a blank drive.. For some reason it won't allow me to do the last partition worth of data. I have plenty of space, don't know what I did wrong.. Still waiting on the Newegg 80G hard drive...

Ah, I know what you mean... If it weren't for a really really late night of internet / eBay browsing I probably would never have bought all the stuff I installed. Certainly didn't plan on spending this much on a new stereo when I bought the car. I'll have to take a look at the Drivesoft system.

Ah man....... We just cleaned out our storage closet in Engineering at work about 2 weeks ago. One of the things was an IDE interface analyzer, it tapped into an IDE stream to monitor what was going on. They used it on some products years back, been in the closet ever since. At the time I couldn't think of anything it would have been useful for, so it left with the recyclers. I wonder if it would have been possible to monitor the IDE data stream going to the hard drive while the unit boots, to at least get a pointer of where to start looking for such things.. I doubt the screen can be r

If you don't mind my asking, have you had a chance to install it all yet? I have a Z1 installed (upgrading the software to Z3 soon..) with the GEX-P10XMT tuner, but the seller didn't send me the data cable. The XM works fine for the most part (spotty reception out here), but the NavTraffic won't work without the data cable. Thing is, when I go to the "Info" screen it says that my XM tuner isn't connected and I have no signal. (But it is, and it works. LOL) Just wondering if yours says the P10XMT is connected or not.. I figure it can't be because of the data cable, since the non-NavTraf

Good news, they're going to swap me a hard drive. They're going to refund the price of the adapter, I don't want another bad one anyway. You think they'd want it back to verify that it's bad, and possibly check their inventory to make sure others don't get bad ones, but... Apparently they don't do tech support or anything. Either way I get a new drive, but I have to send this one back first, so it'll take a while. I suppose I could desolder and flip the connector around, or since it's really only the "key" hole in the 2.5" socket that's wrong (looks like it's cast into the plastic, but t

Well now... Be VERY careful if you order a drive and the 2.5" drive adapter from Newegg. The drive adapter is made WRONG. Or at least the one they sent me was! The 2.5" connector on it is flipped around backwards. I just blew up my new 80Gig Toshiba. I will say their shipping is really fast, I had the drive and adapter in 2 days. Unfortunately, now both are useless. The drive adapter has an etch blown off it, and the drive is completely non-responsive both in my USB 2.5" drive enclosure and with a "Good" drive adapter. (I'm using it right now to format a Hitachi 30Gig drive, so I k

As many have said before, Thanks Guys!! I just ordered the 80Gb Toshiba drive from Newegg; they have the 60Gb listed but I've seen reference that it's been discontinued and people have recieved different drives in its place.. The 80 is only $5 more anyway.. I'll follow the instructions and see how it works out; half of the POI's I enter near where I work take me to the Mass Pike on-ramp! Funny the first time it happened, fortunately I knew where the restaurant was anyway. Not so funny on the several other occasions it happened.. Hopefully the Z3 maps will take care of that. Also
