Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2003 16:42:23 +0100 My Jukebox Recorder 20 (firmware 1.28) appears to be dead. It shows the following on boot: "File System Error. No valid Fat16/32 file system found. Please format drive" It all started when the batteries went dead while playing. When I tried to restart, the directories and files were all messed up with strange symbols. I tried to plug to USB and charger but it was still messed up so I unplugged and restarted and that's when it started showing the error message. I decided to format the drive through USB but after several attempts and strange errors I opened the box and formatted the drive in a laptop. When I reconnected the drive the same error still appeared. Desperate I started playing with the buttons and found the strange format command. This happens If I press F3 button for a few seconds. Still it didn't work and actually eliminates the FAT information on the drive. Anyway, I still have the same error so I think it may be "locked" in this error. Anyone had this problem or have any possible solution? I did try another HD and the exact same thing happens.
