How would one go about setting up their pi to boot from the HDD?

Download speeds are great at ~2 MB/s. The only problem it crashes after a 24-48 hours for 3 times now. I tried downclocking the cpu and the corrupted SD command, other SD card. Nothing helped. When it crashes it doesn't reboot. I have to do it manually with the powercable. After that it works again, but for max 2 days. What can it be?

Try setting up your pi so it boots from the external HD instead. The sd card is still needed but only to start and tell the pi the HD is the main drive.

This has fixed my corruption issues. Just copying 3gb over the network crashed samba and a reboot didn't start back up.

Now I get 4.8 Meg on nzbget max / 2 Meg slowest. Copied to and from the pi about 30 GB just to try and kill it.

System is over clocked at 900 and running for three days solid no issues. Do prefer sabnzb by far but down load speed so much better than 400k on SD card.
