when you say "hang" do you mean that nothing appears ? or do you receive an error ? I've been waiting for 40 mins after the m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 command and I wonder if I can turn the disk off and retry from start. Yep hangs as in nothing appears, no output from hyperterminal. Using Aviko's commands fixed that, though I see you resolved this, congrats!
