Well, If i don't have the SD card in the slot, I have to start Homebrew twice also.(BTW HB is vrs. 1.0.6, but acted the same on the previous vrs also)
The first time the channel loads, but empty(cause there is no SD card in) then if I exit to the SM and open Homebrew again, it searches the USB right off and loads up with everything listed. After that I can click on CFG from homebrew and it will load with the 6 sec routine.
What if you start the HBC and get the blank screen, then push 1, select USB device and OK?
It does sound like this is a problem with your drive taking too long to wake itself up. Think of it as your drive needing to crawl out of bed and make some coffee before it will respond to any external stimulus. HBC and the forwarder simply give up when trying to wake it up as it takes too long before it responds, yet they do trigger its wake up sequence so that if you manually attempt to use them before the drive has gone back to sleep, the drive will work normally.
Oh, and the "Universal Forwarder" that is mentioned is linked to in the first post of this very thread.
Sup?
Sorry for the delay, been away from the comp for a few days..
Anyway,, When run HBC and get the blank screen, hit 1,,USB looks like it is already selected,,,,but if I select it and go on its still nothing. I still have to exit and restart HBC then it goes strait there.
Yes, i have tried the Uni-forwarder, IIRC, it gave me the same result as 50c does now. I have tried every version I could find from the various posts around the forums, and what I have found is the ones that work all work the same as 50c(start twice then it loads) the others just don't work and/or give an error. the only exception is the one with 48 embedded.
I even tried the new one 51a, and it is the same(start twice then it loads) but IT takes a looong time to load for me.
I think I forgot to mention that My USB Hdd is a USB 2.0 WD My Book Essentials 1TB WDBAAF0010HBK-00 but as far as I can tell there hasn't been anyone else with my issue.
If it is my drive taking to long
Is there any way to make a 50c embedded vrs like the 48 one?
or better yet,,Is there a way to get HBC to look more than once before it gives up?
once again, thanks for replying
