Hi - I have put several new hard disks into my hmax 9200T.
(see my youtube)

The most recent one is a DB35.3, like the others,
But - when i power it down, put it in, and power up again, the humax does not ask to format it, like it usually does, so it doesn't work.
When this happens, you don't get the HDD control menu, so you can't format it from there.
(you get a games menu instead)
Can anyone tell me how to format it, eg from the PC ?
its firmware 3.ACB, which has worked before

Putting one on the cabe select position has fixed it.
My other drives had this set, or on the master jumper
Hooray
You can get DB35.3 drives on ebay for £10 now
Missing recordings occasionally and thought I would give the drive a full format in my pc and fix any errors.
If I format using windows 7 - will the Hummy then allow me to format it once back in the machine?

Connected the old drive back and used humaxrw to copy the recordings and associated files to PC and then back to the new drive which is halfay through the procedure now.
Thanks for help and will analyse the old drive some time soon.
Jumper on the new drive was already set to CS - seller says the drive was from excess stock PVR and unused.
