How To... Format Your Pacemaker's Harddrive

[Sox]

I haven't done this myself but I believe the process is

• Power off
• Press and hold Rewind, FastForward and Channel 2 buttons
• Power on

You should then be offered 4 options

• 1 Check filesystem.
• 2 Clean filesystem.
• 3 Restore hard drive.
• 4 Reboot.

I am guessing option 3 will reformat your drive, then put down a new empty Music.DB database file on the hard drive

I can confirm restore works as Sox explained.

Had issues installing firmware from Win7 tho, no method seemed to work.
Got around the issue cause i'm lucky enough to have a vista laptop.
Manually added firmware to .Pacemaker dir and ejected drive, install ran then had to eject again as it connected to PC again.

All tickety boo...

I can confirm that the process described above does reformat the harddrive, essentially resetting the device.

After I did this I was prompted to install new firmware. The device wouldn't do anything before I had put new firmware on it.

Hello Please Can you help I recently used pm1.04 but now when I try rebooting it gets to the pacemaker logo with the four coloured lights and freezes.
I tried the ff rw 2 channel and power button to reformat but it just goes to the same screen . Any ideas would be great thanks

From your other post, I assume you now have this sorted
