    Hi,
    I am having a lot of trouble getting the record functionality to work.
    1> I tried sliding in the drive (WD Scorpio 120GB - Enhanced IDE) and heard it start up so it connects ok. The disk is new so shouldn't have a file system on it - I think? I tried pressing pause, play, record and using the timer but the error is always the same - Hard Drive is Full or not Installed.
    2> I tried powering it off and then re-inserting the hard drive and powering it on - no joy.
    3> Tried reloading the firmware - v1.1a - while the harddrive was in place but still no joy.

    Any advice appreciated. I have had several Eurovoxes so am familiar with its operation, updating etc. i.e. basic setup is not a problem.
    Thanks

    You say "Tried reloading the firmware - v1.1a - while the harddrive was in place but still no joy."

    Did the firmware go on as you said "Tried", Try Menu - Config - System Info , Type that back to us.

    Also did you get the HD with the PVR?

    The firmware loading worked fine. I believe the harddrive comes with Fat32 on it - correct me if I am wrong someone - so I need to wipe it. I am going to try and get a HD enclosure for it today so I can wipe it. I hear KillDisk will do the trick?

    Hi,
    just an update which may help some of you out in the future.

    The Western Digital 120GB IDE which I bought didn't work straight out of the box. I had to connect it up to my laptop using a HD enclosure and wipe it clean with a utility called Active KillDisk (Freeware). It took a couple of hours but then once I popped it back into the Evox PVR all worked fine.

    Cheers
