I am trying to re-create my 120GB DMS, and I'm having trouble getting the DMS Tools 2.15 to work.
My computer is a linux Mint system, and I'm running Windows 2000 in a Virtualbox VM. I have Phatnoise Music Manager (not Media Manager) 2.30 installed, and it works very well when managing my stock 10GB DMS, so I know communication with the USB cradle isn't the problem.
When I run DMS Tools 2.15 with a blank 120GB DMS in the cradle, it immediately reports no DMS found (no surprise there). When I switch over to DMS Tools Mode, it again reports "No DMS found," and then an unhandled exception error occurs. The "Create New DMS" button is disabled. I have attached the error details in a text file.
I have attempted this with the 120GB drive unpartitioned, with a single FAT32 partition with no label, then labeled "PHTSYS," then with 2 partitions labeled PHTSYS and PHTDTA. All with the same result.
I did this once before, but it was several years ago, before the DMS Tools was created, and on a computer running Win98, which isn't around anymore. I can't find the instructions I followed to do it at that time.
I'm not sure if I need to do something to prep the drive, or if the DMS Tools are having a problem because it's a VM, or what.
Any advice would be appreciated.
