Just use an updater disc it will solve u r problem. just try it now it is V.2 running. ask DATASAT they will help you. Simple processor to setup. they will provide both save setting disc and software disc. with an usb doggle. Simple use save setting disc to save the content in the player. dont forget it to do this process. And use a Software Disc to complete the process. it will take around 45min to complete the process. Before this check the Battery in the Mother board of the player. This will help you to solve this problem. Regards, V.V.Tusith Vijay.  |  IP: Logged Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 02-08-2011 11:30 AM                     Send it in for repair. Possibly a hard drive crash which has happened to me countless times. I have a dead one right now doing exactly the same thing.  |  IP: Logged David Despain Film Handler Posts: 10 From: San Tan Valley, AZ USA Registered: Aug 2009 posted 02-08-2011 11:50 AM                     We had two here with the same problem. The start up dicsc does not work if it is stuck on that screen. They have to be sent in.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-08-2011 05:32 PM                        Agreed. We had the same problem with ours. Send it in.  |  IP: Logged V.V.Tushit Vijay Film Handler Posts: 54 From: Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, India Registered: Oct 2009 posted 02-08-2011 11:58 PM                     Hello , If the hard disc crash just send the player to Datasat. Try putting a Save setting disc. if the process started . copy the settings and try to change the hard disc if you guys have a dought on it. and make a new hard disc to boot and complete the other process what i said before. regards, V.V.Tusith  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 02-09-2011 10:02 AM                     I take it the DTS XD10 software/firmware is written to the internal hard disc. Am I correct? I guess there's no simple way for someone to remove the bad hard disc out of a XD10 and install a replacement. This reminds me of the Dish Network ViP722 receiver I had to replace due to a hard disc failure. I couldn't just drop in a new, identical hard disc either. Had to get a replacement receiver/DVR (luckily it hardly cost me anything). More of these kinds of devices using hard discs should be designed in the way how Sony designed the Playstation 3. The PS3 uses a standard SATA notebook hard drive. If the HDD fails it's easy to remove it and install a new one. The PS3 will automatically format the new drive and install the PS3 system software on it. You can even back up the system software from the old hard disc to a USB flash drive and restore it on the new hard drive. If you bought downloadable games from the Playstation Store, the store will let you download/install them all again for free and even do all the download/installs in one shot. I did that after my first PS3 was stolen, once I transferred my account to a newer "slim" model.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-09-2011 11:37 AM                        Has anyone tried cloning the disk from a good XD10 to a new disk using a desktop computer and "dd" or a similiar utility? As long as the new disk is the same size (preferably with the same geometry) or larger and otherwise meets spec, it should work, if the problem is indeed with a bad disk. I have done this with other devices that require a particular disk format (most notably, certain HP multifunction printer/fax machines, which use laptop-size hard disks, and for which the official HP replacement part is stupidly expensive).  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 02-09-2011 12:00 PM                     I guess success in cloning the failing DTS XD10 hard disc would depend on the cloning utility read the disc format. If it's written in something common (FAT32, NTFS, etc) it might work. But then some devices have their own proprietary flavor of disc formatting (like my Dish Network DVR). In that case the cloning tool would have to do some sort of binary-based clone for it to work.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-09-2011 12:34 PM                        dd will do a bit-for-bit copy, so the filesystem doesn't matter. It does not do any sort of error checking or correction, so it would not likely be effective for cloning a failing disk. I was thinking more along the lines of a multiplex with several DTS units, one of which had a bad disk. A good disk could be cloned and then the clone could be used to replace the bad one.  |  IP: Logged Ram Sup Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Malaysia Registered: Mar 2008 posted 02-09-2011 01:28 PM                     HI..guys...

You ask them and they'll provide you the discs and a usb dongle (or at least the software for you to throw on your own dongle).  |  IP: Logged Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 02-10-2011 11:17 PM                     quote: Scott Norwood Has anyone tried cloning the disk from a good XD10 to a new disk using a desktop computer I have been very curious about this and I will be trying it soon.  |  IP: Logged
