Okay,
I have been trying now for two days straight to get into the diagnostic menu. I have HDD2 Error, and I can't get past it. I have done the OK & Power on thing. (menu 3 -1-Y) I have done it extensively. But i still get the same error. I have gone to the page for Restoring a C3000 from scratch I am trying to do that also. I can't get into the DB menu or the DM menu. I have been trying over and over and over. I took my batteries out for overnight even - still, can't get into any of the useful diagnostic menus.  what is the trick? I have all my files on the CF card (512mb) I'm really frusterated!  I had Cackobeta on and X/QT from when I received the Zaurus. I tried to re-install cacko, the first part worked on that, but when I tried the Second part (3-1-Y) I get the same error:error Hdd2, EXT3-fs unable to read superblock hdc2: bad access: block=2, count=2 any more ideas? I am getting tired of yanking out the battery and trying to do a DM or DB Lareya

I was able to get into the NAND menu. I followed the instructions found Returning Your Zaurus SL-C3000 To It's Factory Settings regarding placing the NAND file on a CF card for my c3000, however when I hit return/OK twice it has this on the menu
file:systc300.dbk Execute restore? and then it seems to be hanging. I don't see/hear anything going on. It seems frozen. Any susgestions? Lareya |

this sounds not good at all, sorry to hear about your troubles. looks like you have tried most of the things i would go for, im a long way from being an expert but here are a few other things i would try:
cacko and pdaxrom have a lot of usefull nand utilities in there install scripts. it could be worth trying to at least get something working with them. if you can even get a bootstrap image to go into flash rom then you will have more tools to get things going. it sounds to me like your hard drive is either dead or the has a very broken layout. im on a windoze pc at the mo and cant check what i had to use to raise disks from the dead before but there is a huge amount of info on this for linux in general. fdisk should find something and dmesg should tell you if not, why not. will try and follow your post and also see if i can find anything out this evening. best of luck with it. stan |
