ok a clean install of OPENELEC (standalone) on a intel NUC , using a 30g ssd , the machine runs xbmc . the install can be seen over my network , and I believe its only created a 20meg partition. I would like to use the spare 29.5 gig to hold films , I can see folders over the network backup/music/update etc etc the files are not viewable from windows . I tried removing the drive and formatting the empty space , but no boot afterwards.




with this being a standalone openelec , I cannot see a terminal.


on the nuc (openelec) it shows /dev/sda1 (my main computer) and /dev/sda2 size 27.1g used 577m available 26.6 2% used.


the reason for asking , I would like to install a 500g/1gig dive with the OS and a lot of space to store films.


in windows I can add files in a folder and see them , but cannot make a new folder

Have you got a ftp server on the NUC, then try Filezilla, but surely it accepts telnet / ssh connections then use PuTTy http://www.putty.org/

cheers entered ip , asking for user name and password , openelec has not got a base system , with user name / password.

OK I can use google but not using openelec but found this http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Ssh_commands or https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=openelec+telnet+password&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=MOO2VK-TE4u8Ua7YgvAD

They may help
edit: Looks like root / openelec

ok I,m in , made a new directory in the root (test) can see it in openelec (search) , but not showing in windows

Not familiar with openelec but usually if you are trying to view Linux partitions using a Windows system then windows usually ignores them.
However if you do it the other way round and use a Linux system eg Parted Magic, Puppy Linux, Linux Mint etc then you can usually view all partitions including windows ones.
