XBMC unable to find /dev/sda
Hello!
I've been installing Xbian on raspberry PI 2 and I tried to connect my 500GB WD Passport hard drive to it. When I power it up xbian loads just fine but drive sounds like it would try to run over and over again. I am unable to see the drive anywhere in Xbian. Then I Exit from xbian and linux command shows me error: Unable to find '/dev/sda'. I thought it is the problem with not enough current from adapter (5V, 2A), but it should be enough. I hope I make any sense with my english and that there is someone that can help me with my problem. |

RE: XBMC unable to find /dev/sda
That is the second problem I have. I am unable to login into the sistem remote via SSH or if I exit xbian and try in the console.
I've tried every possible combination I can think of (root/raspberry;pi/raspberry,root/root,root/user, etc). I've tried capital letters and nothing is working. I can connect to device, but unable to login.

RE: XBMC unable to find /dev/sda
Thank you a lot. I couldn't find that online.
ls /dev/sd* gives me: /dev/sda And the correct error is: ata_id[7537] Unable to open '/dev/sda' |

RE: XBMC unable to find /dev/sda
Try mounting it manually.
Terminal mkdir /home/xbian/tempmnt sudo mount - t ntfs /dev/sda /home/xbian/tempmnt Replace ntfs if that isn't the filesystem type and if that doesn't work try /dev/sda1 in the mount line.

RE: XBMC unable to find /dev/sda
What type of filesystem is on the drive? I just assumed it was NTFS.
