Hi,

I've used the +OK Boot mode (didn't know that !).
I plugged the AC as you said (a warning forbids to go further if unplugged).
I then tried option 3, and then clicked on the option 1 (without understanding the Kanji).
After few minutes, I got my Zaurus back in its initial state !

So, thank you so much for your help ! I hope I'll be able to find interesting things on this toy and to help here too in the future.

Warmest Regards !

laurent (who bought it directly in Tokyo / Akihabara).

Hi all,

I bought a SL-C3000 few weeks ago, and it seems that my Hard Drive has a problem.
During the boot process, just right above the red SHARP Logo, I get a small message :
"HDD1 Error!!"
Then the Zaurus SL-C3000 hangs, and I get nothing more.
 

After a small analysis of the Hard Drive, thanks to a special mode of the M+D Boot process  (services 3/3 -> Extra Menu -> HDD Diag Menu, page 2/2 -> HDD File Backup), I discovered that my hard drive had lost the partitions.

By using fdisk, I was then able to reconstruct the partitions tables. Some friends gave me images of hda1 hda2 hda3 (and full hdd also) thanks to the "dd" command. I've tried to recover the HD, but I still get a "HDD1 Error!!" message during the boot process.

According to you, what should I try, is it something known ? By using google, it seems that there is not so much people with this message ; and even if I cannot really read japanese, I've not been able to find valuable help on the Net.

Is there an easy way to recover the Hard Drive of a Zaurus SL-C3000 ? Should I recover the NAND too ? ...

Thanks for your help,

laurent
