How to Install Firmware on a New Hard Drive for Iomega Home Media Cloud Edition (HMND2)

My Iomega Home Media Network Disk (Cloud Edition, HMND2) died after serving me for 5 years. I bought a new 2T Hitachi hard drive and followed those useful links to install firmware on it. It works well for one and half years already ( as to Jul 2019). Hopefully this video is helpful to you too if you are having same issue. High level steps to install HMND system to new hard drive based on video: 1. Download iomega_hmnhd.lzma file to your laptop which is running Ubuntu Live USB Linux 2. attached new drive to the laptop running Ubuntu Live USB Linux 3. get your hard drive device id using command "cat /proc/partitions". In video , it was sdd. 4. If you are not in sudo mode, please run command "sudo cat /media/ubuntu/Data/Temp/iomega_hmnhd.lzma | lzma -d | sudo dd of=/dev/sdd" It will take about 1 hour to get it done. Actually, "sudo cat /media/ubuntu/Data/Temp/iomega_hmnhd.lzma | lzma -d | sudo dd of=/dev/sdd bs=1M" can make it much faster. 4. In Ubuntu terminal, using fdisk command to delete only partition: fdisk -u /dev/sdd d w 5. Preparing the USB-stick mkfs -t vfact /dev/sdd1 mkdir -p /mnt/hmnhdce-recover && mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/hmnhdce-recover mkdir -p /mnt/hmnhdce-recover/emctools/hmnhd_images cp imager_3.1.14.995.tgz /mnt/hmnhdce-recover/emctools/hmnhd_images/ touch /mnt/hmnhdce-recover/emctools/hmnhd_images/reinstall 6. copy bootrom.txt from recovery-3.1.14.995.zip to usb root folder
