As Tony said, the only thing that changed is the new disk. I don't think that anything you did to it might have resulted in this strange bahaviour. If you make an error in partitioning, formatting etc, it just does not work.

Now, the disk could be having thermal problems. Try rebooting the player, letting it work (play) for several hours, then try to upload something. If the disk indeed has problems with thermal recalibration or something like that, it should show with the first files transferred.

Another thing: switch the drive activity icon display and see whether it seems to be on longer when the drive is warm. To switch the icon on, add
[display]
caching=1
to /empeg/var/config.ini if it is not already there. To do that without the editor, do the following:

Drop to shell.

cd /empeg/var

car config.ini or more config.ini to see whether the option (and section) you need is there

If it is not, type
rw
rwm
cp config.ini config.safe
echo '[display]' >> config.ini
echo 'caching=1' >> config.ini

Remount read-only (ro) and return to the player (exit).


But, this all is shooting in the dark. Have you contacted support? What do they say?

Good luck!
