so slap it in any pc and slap a knoppix cd in to see its contents
(knoppix boots and runs all from the cd, take out the cd and reboot
system is back to normal) :-)

yea but as this involves invalidating warranty ill wait for someone else
to do it first

Nick do you ever search Google? You seem to have a habit of repeating
questions that have been discussed before re this Pace you just got. I know
that I sound like I'm having a go but it's all there if you do a search. It
will also lead you to forums where many of these things are discussed in
detail.

Someone already has done it, and found a somewhat non-standard format.
Try searching in uk.tech.digital-tv for posts in the last two or three
months by Ian Clowes. ISTR he's even managed to get some MPEG data off
the disc.

I dare say there have been threads on others of the FOUR groups you
crossposted, too. A bit of time spent with Google should reap rewards.

Hwyl!

Hi

Yep, and I'm currently refining the process and working on a 'recipie'
for creating VCDs.

The disk format is something called AVFS, partition type E0. Its
registered, but undocumented publicly.

I'm also starting work on a website to share what I know and the
rudimentary tools that I'm building/using.

I really should get around to plugging into the serial port too to see
if it makes the whole job easier...

Following your logic no-one would be posting on Usenet but trawling Google's archive
for historical discussions. Usenet isn't 'read only'. Its not a bulletin board or your private forum.
Its repetitive by nature. If this antagonises you then you are too easily antagonised.

Ah, a real Mr Logic from Viz.

No, as another poster has also said to you, many of your questions are
repeats of recently discussed issues. Many of your answers could easily be
found with some simple searches of Google or even looking back just a day or
two of newsgroup posts. I didn't say anything about being antogonised, I
have a far too balanced life to have such trivia concern me to that degree.
Part of my post was to be helpful to you, but simply you can stick it up
your ar*e for all I care really.

Would that other poster be you? I think it might.
I always search forums and use Usenet as a last resort when it comes to obscure
technical matters such as 'what filesystem is this pace twinview hd using'. I didn't find anything on digitalspy
or AV forums.
Btw nothing in your original post could be construed as 'help'.

If posting a question here is lazy then what are you doing here?

As opposed to being too lazy to do research first and expecting others
to save you the trouble?

Not to mention one's propensity for giving the answer before the
question.
