Exploring Dreambox Hard Drive

[BM300]

Hello,
Is there a program to explore the Hard Drive on the Dreambox (linux) in a similar manar as windows explorer.
Or can we use an FTP program for this?

One could Telnet the HD drive but this is like operating in the old DOS.

I like to remove some unwanted files on the HD of Dream but DB is not rcognozing the HD anymore (using FW).

Many thanks.

take out the HD from dream and mount it on a real PC

Thanks for your prompt answer.
Would windows recognize the linux based hard drive?

well, there is somewhere on the net a tool called Explore2fs to read Linux formatted partitions under windows...grab it

this is true only if the disk is formatted in ext2, which isn't the case in recent images (either reiserfs or ext3).

The easy solution is via ftp with something like ftp explorer (explorer like gui).

ext3 is supported.

Why don't you just access the drive in Windows: \\<dream-ip>\movie for the movie dir

Hello,
Thanks icest0rm, drakpzone,

I will try both Explore2fs and ftp explorer


@xyz667,
I have no movies on the HD, just 1 or 2 corrupted images that are interfering with FlashaWiard, so it is not recognizing the HD.

You can also try flashFXP, so easy to use.
