I can’t remember which SATA interface the new drive goes in - probably SATA1, but you can try SATA2 as that is used in cloning if you have the original drive. I know this works as I’ve created one this way in the past. 

i dont have original drive, its totally broken... so need clean reinstall of base os

You don’t need it. Check the service manual

Is this the newest Service Tool?

As far as I’m aware, they haven’t updated it for years. 

OK frog, i dont have the beosound here only the beomaster (fixing for friend)..

Can i fix it without the beosound ? (i dont have a remote atm, but i can prolly borrow one)

Frog, you know if i can fix it without having the beosound5 around - im fixing the beomaster for a friend. I also dont have remote control, but that i can borrow i think...

Im not sure that i understand the manual right, is it gonna download the software from service menu thing ?

hello I downloaded the ST  and converted it to a mdx file ; bud this is not working .

does anybody knows in witch extension it has to be written? maybe .dmg or .iso or .mds

thanks

Do you know if I can use this service tool for a "clean" install to a new SSD? I plan to replace the existing drive and as far as I understand, my options go:

1. Clone the old one with its junk

2. "Clean" install on the new one? (naturally with serial number)

Would be great to hear if that works.  

Cheers
