Re: [cobalt-developers] Qube restore question

[Jon Hutchins <groovefx@xxxxxxxxx>]

I downloaded and burned the business version of the
qube software to disk, booted off my laptop and
monitored it with another laptop.  It seems that when
it tries to mount the drive it can't because it is
read only.  Then the unit reboots, loads up to the
point where it says "First stage kernel: Decompressing
- done." and then reboots (and repeats).  One other
note I should throw in is I originally took the hard
drive out of the box, fdisked it in dos to delete the
partition and create a new (dos) one, and formatted
it.  This was the only way I was able to make the
device not boot the old comcast business file system.
