Hi all
so I’ve just put a seagate video 2tb (I know some people say seagate pipeline is the hdd to get but my old 4000t had a seagate video and this box originally had a Toshiba hdd inside) hdd in my fvp-5000t and now although the drive is seen by the system it won’t record I just get the little grey broken icon, before I installed it I hooked it up to my pc and formatted it to FAT32 which is hopefully right, I’ve tried to format it whilst it’s been in the system aswell just to see if that might make a difference but I just get a message on screen saying “cannot format this storage now because a recording will start soon” even though nothing is set to record, I’ve also tried HDD Test but it’s been going nearly an hour now and nothings happening, the new hdd is fine I tested it before installing and it seems to be absolutely perfect, so now I’m lost, has anyone dealt with this problem before or know what to do? Any help would be fantastic.
