My UTV failed, one of the tuners will no longer lock. I had a 120 GB Hard disk in the unit and I love having a lot of recording space. I got a replacement unit from Directv, but of course it has the small 40 GB drive.I unlocked my 120 GB Western Digital Hard Drive that was in the old unit using MHD3 software and erased the entire drive by writing zero's to it using Western Digital software.I then installed it into the new UTV.
The new UTV will call into Microsoft for the update, but always disconnects before it is complete. It is a vicious cycle. I went ahead and bought a new drive thinking that that might be the problem and still MSN disconnects before the download is complete. Now I am stuck, the 40GB drive that came with the new unit will no longer boot. I keep getting blinking lights and my 120 GB will not download version 3.7.
:cool:I have version 3.7 image downloaded, but how do I get that to the drive without having to dial into MSN? I read about winhex, but before I spend the cash, is it pretty easy to do? If someone could give me some pointers as to how to do it I would be grateful!!!!![/B]
