How do I format my old 320Gb Humax HDR Drive

![]() Example http://www.allcam.biz/catalog/produc...roducts_id=693 Connect it to your PC Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Storage/Disc Management. Alternatively the Home Edition of Easeus Partition Manager http://www.partition-tool.com/?gclid...FaEhtAodInmvTQ Why not connect it to the rear usb port of your hdr and use it as an archive drive. You can replay your existing recordings this way. |

Stick it in a usb sata cradle or enclosure
Example http://www.allcam.biz/catalog/produc...roducts_id=693 Connect it to your PC Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Storage/Disc Management.

You can replay your existing recordings this way. I have a Allcam usb sata cradle and a 1Tb drive for it formatted by the HDR and 1Tb drive in the Humax HDR. So the 320Gb isn't getting used, I tried to format it a while ago using "Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Storage/Disc Management", but it wouldn't format. I'll give that Easeus Partition Manager a go. |

You have to delete the existing partitions and recreate it as a single one before formatting.

Graham to do this would the hdr power the hard drive, or would I need additional power.
