| I have researched this one:
the hard drives which have proved to be successful in the sky+boxes are Maxtor 40/80 and 120 gig, they must be 7200 speed as the sky box needs to recognise the drive within about 8 seconds, if the disc is slow at spinning up then the sky box will reject it.
It needs to be IDE and will fit straight into your old box, it takes about 1 minute to replace and the box will format the drive itself when you do a restart.
any more info PM me. |
