[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 694882, member: 82144"] Hi again No, because you didn't supply me with logs. I can't locate the reason without logs... You asked some other questions as well: - Regarding the EARS drive: I have heard many people report pixellation (picture breakup) and jitter (skipping) because of "green" hard drives like yours. At the same time there are also other people who say there is no problem with them.
