Hi, I don't doubt the information is here somewhere, but I'm having trouble finding it. Please could someone point me to instructions to how to replace a HDD with a 1TB drive (hopefully almost identical Seagate drive). I've seen instructions for upgrading to a 2TB which I believe are much more long winded due to the Hummy not being able to format it.
As best I can gather, its a case of whip out the old drive and pop in the new drive and let the Hummy take care of formatting it. Is that the size of it? Does this maintain all my recording schedule etc., or do I need to copy any files across?
Also, I'd like to copy across what old recordings and other settings I can to the new drive from the old drive. I have a drive caddy, so once I've got the new drive working, can I then just stick the old drive in the caddy, put it in the USB and copy? The programs I can find, but where are the files and settings, recording schedule held, which dir should I copy and which should I leave well alone.
For info, the old disk has been getting worse and worse, picture breakups, scrambled recordings msgs during playback and is now
Disk realloc sector count is: 265 (was 260)
Disk pending sector count is: 3 (was 2)
Disk offline sector count is: 3 (was 2)
I have pending system notifications about upgrades to webif and wireless-tools which I can't acknowledge, the Remote and Package mgmt images now fail to display, if I Browse Media Files, the Clipboard is permanently Loading so I'm not able to use any of the options on that screen. I did go into Mtce Mode from Putty and do a Long disk check which found errors it was unable to correct - hence why I'm trying to replace the drive.
Thanks and apologies for failing to find this information myself.
