Just a quick response. I am surprised that this one didn't do it .

I'll say more later - but did you read those instrucs I sent to you ?

They include some stuff about the formatting of the USB thumb drive.

check it and try that.

hmm.

that stick worked fine for me && others so we'l see what up with your situation exactly.


Andrew.

Followed everything to the letter, formatted the USB drive MAC OS X (journalled), checked GUID partition so it'd boot from the drive, even bought a new stick and tried that!

I'm probably doing something stupid, or maybe my refurb 1.1 isn't cool with hacking for some reason? It was BNIB so it should work ok...

I'm frustrated, but still hopeful a solution will present itself.

Andrew, you are a genius!

Thanks for helping me so much, I have the thing hacked, reverted to 1.0 and am just enabling the USB hack right now. Once the ssh is enabled the rest is quite straightforward.

Awesome, I owe you a pint or something if you're ever in my neck of the woods or vice versa. You've really gone out of your way to help and I can't express my thanks enough, man.
