Hi all,

My wife's CIC unit has decided that it didn't want to stay on for very long and keeps rebooting when first started, eventually settling.

At first I thought it was the hard drive, as we cannot see any songs on the multimedia player thing. The maps are showing OK though.

Verrrry occasionally, it will actually find the songs and play them but that's rare.

I followed this post to copy everything from the original drive to the CF card/adapter combo.

I used the dd method by creating a whole image and writing it back. However, the problem remains. Maps are showing OK but nothing in multimedia (says 'searching' and is all greyed out) and available disk space is showing nothing.

Strangely, the CD drive doesn't seem to want to read CDs either any more - just says Checking... and then gives up.

And it still reboots itself.

I mounted the original hard drive under QNX and can see a bunch of RippedXX folders under there. I am wondering if this original hard drive has been corrupted in more ways than one - like partition descriptions being corrupt...

Any thoughts?

Thanks
