I installed a toshiba Hard drive in the pvr. I can hear it spinning up. But when i try and record something it says its not installed or is full. I know it needs to be unpartitioned. I put in in my computer and ran windows xp setup. And deleted the partitions so its just unpartitioned space. Is this right?
is it the ex5000 i got the seagate with my box but had the same problem you must not be affraid to really push the hard drive in - the pins are tight to remove i had to pull the tab with pliers inserted again then press record leave a while then stop press pvr and you should be ok mine has been since
Hi, i have pushed it back as far as i can, it will not go any futher. I am using a toshiba mk8025gas drive. The original drive i had worked, but i put that one in my laptop as it was bigger lol. This is bugging me now.
If its capacity is 160GB or above it wont work. It also has to be PATA, time to take it back out of your laptop
he, what it pata and how do i make it into that? i have read your posts and seen you know your stuff.
Without going into the technicalities of SATA v PATA. Just change the drives back to the way they were. Apologies for the short answer, but I have to go and collect, "she who must be obeyed".
