I got my new 160gb Maxtor drive yesterday, and I prepared it last night.
I followed the instructions in the FAQ thread, but when I came to run WVSET like this:
The correct usage is:
I followed the instructions in the FAQ thread, but when I came to run WVSET like this:
WVSET /OFFIt just gave a list of usage options, instead of a confimation that Write Verfity has been disabled.
The correct usage is:
WVSET OFFWhich will search each IDE channel for Maxtor drives, and disable write verify.

You can download it here - just unzip, and burn the image file with Nero (go into Nero Burning ROM, and select File > Burn Image, and select the file).
Then boot off the disc. It'll go into PowerMax automatically, just press Esc to access the other tools.
Hope this helps someone
However, I've just used AAMSET off of your bootable cd and it enabled Acoustic Management and let me set the disk to quiet.
Do you know what the difference between the programs is and why this occurred?
Thanks again.
Thanks for this - have just created the CD.
Can you tell me exactly which settings to select in the Utilities for optimum performance in the Pace v2 Digibox - i.e. as quiet as poss but still keeping cool !
Help much appreciated
Dave.
Cheers,

I agree you may not be able to update the thread directly, however as "owner" of the FAQ I would politely suggest that it is your job to maintain it and supply an updated and corrected post to the mods. Anything else (i.e. individuals requesting individual changes) is only likely to result in chaos.
Some suggestions:
3. Box list - to include Sky+ 160 which now been released.
5. Hard drive size - V1 boxes support 250Gb drives as well, al least my late V1 box does.
6. 17 minute bug - It's DUAL recording not DUEL
7. Perparing - V2 Amstrads have standard screws (no security bit required)
Link to Pingu's boot CD
Nickleics instructions were great, but the Maxtor links are out of date now. Suggest we use Pingu's CD instead?
9. Link to www.satcure.co.uk website for replacement IDE cables
Hope that helps.

I have the AMSET and AAMSET utils on my webspace, and not planning on deleting them anytime soon.

However Pingu's CD download still works, and I have made an ISO CD image available here for anyone who wants the CD but doesn't use Nero. ISOs are pretty much burnable with anything.
All utilities are used at your own risk, as always.
