Anyone tried starting the YouView box without a hard drive?
Noisy box this morning, sounded like hard drive so I whipped it out and when attached to a PC it makes the same noises. I realise the recordings are toast as the drive is not even detected by the diagnostic.
New drive ordered, next day delivery but has anyone tried starting the box without a hard drive or will it just not start? I'd be happy to have the box without recording functionality for the next 24 hours. |

What's the make and model no. of your YV box? Also, what's the hard drive spec and connector type?

Fingers crossed the new hard drive will work, when I put in a bigger drive the box still didn't work, I don't know if there's a special partition or formatted in a special way.
