I am quite eager to find out what the problem is. The HPG10 manual does suggest that some disks may not meet the necessary requirements (pp. 54-55). I understand that bus power is not the problem in your case and I also gather that you are aware that you can (and must) allow the HPG10 to format the Hard Disk (to Type S format). You have evidently used the HPG10 before. Did you try to just first have your Mac format the Hard Disk (using erase), assuming it does not contain anything you’d like to keep, for no particular reason, really, other than trying to clean the slate, and then hook it up again to the HPG10? This suggestion may well turn out to be useless, of course, but I would certainly give it a shot. Good luck.

Allow me to join the chorus. I work with an HVX200 with 100GB worth of P2 Cards. This budget of 100GBs corresponds to either 100 minutes of 720/50p video or some 200 minutes of 720/25pn (=Native). Now I still keep recording 720/50P despite the double burden on costly solid state cards space, because of my preference for Media100 over FCP. But the high costs of my P2 Cards do not really warrant this preference. I would hate to have to migrate to the other NLE. Furthermore, using the 720/25PN would also greatly reduce the need for extra storage disks for archiving – something else to keep you awake when using P2. I, too, would therefore be very happy if Media100 were to make it possible to ingest 720/25PN, even regardless, incidentally, of the possibility that the Media100 Media files would become inflated due to some translation upon import because you do not have to always archive your Media100 media files too.
