Hi all,

I've been thinking about my problem and how can I fix it. As far as I know, If the ATV pass all the test it may be working properly and maybe, the error in the update, could be due a partition table bug (when the update tried to install itself it found an error in the destination path... Could be possible?? :confused: ). To solve that I'm going to upgrade the hard drive (was in my mind before finding the error).

I was googling to find "the best" possible hard drive when I found this one. I think it's a good quality-prize option, with enough capacity, but I don't know if the ATV will be enough to maintain it's electrical specifications. What do you think??

The other question is how could I prepare the new hard drive if my original one it's not ok... It's possible? Can I make the partitions with diskutil and terminal??? It's there any place to download a complete disk image through emule or torrent?? :confused:

Thanks in advance!!!
 
The ATV uses a PATA drive, not a SATA drive.
The one I've post is PATA ;) I've only found this WD searching in all the models and manufacturers I know...

By other hand, it's possible to hack the ATV software with patchstick or ATVflash with a PPC computer??? I read a lot of guides and all of them said that an Intel based Mac it's necessary.... I'm not going to be able to do it with my PowerBook??? :eek::confused:

Not true. You can use Patchstick 2.1 with a PPC Mac. PM me for more info.
