NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESSING UP YOUR WDTV.
YOU ARE FLASHING A REMIX OF THE OFFICIAL FIRMWARE THAT
ADDS A LOT OF EXTRA FUNCTIONALITY -- IT SHOULD NOT GO WRONG, 
BUT IF IT DOES I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
[well I really do, I'm just not responsible ; )]

======
This is a permanent flash, like an official upgrade
======

There is ONE limitation, you must have a supported drive/flashdisk plugged in for this to work.
If you have nothing supported plugged in the WDTV reports no storage.
Supported means: fat32, NTFS, HFS+...

=================
NOTES:
==================
net.config is a file to set custom network settings, it will override default settings inside the WDTV.
net.mounts are where you can place NFS shares that you would like loaded at boot.
These files must be on a drive at boot for them to be used, every boot.

Appreciate this? Paypal me something using the link above.

INSTRUCTIONS
==============================

copy to usb key formated to FAT/FAT32
USE HP USB FORMAT tool google :-> "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool"

or under linux mkfs.vfat 

dont use NFTS its better to use better supported well known FS like FAT

Vista is using exFAT also PE2USB is able format USBkey to FAT16/FAT32

if is not recognized  new firmware change wdtv.bin to higher release

------wdtv.ver------
VERSION='1.03.01.WDLXTV-0.5.8'
LOCATION='wdtv.bin'

probably you should change to 

VERSION='1.20.04.WDLXTV-0.5.8'
LOCATION='wdtv.bin'
