Vu+ Duo HDD setup

[Mally1979]

Someone please help. I have an original Vu+ Duo and have installed a 500 GB internal HD and am having a problem recording and using time shift.

If I press the record button I see a message saying 'No HDD found or HDD not initialised.'

When I go through the menu - Setup, Hard Drive, Initialisation I see a message saying 'Unable to initialise hard drive. Error: Creating partition failed.

I have been told to format to fat32 and I need to partition the HDD.

I am new to all this and am struggling. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

You have to format your internal HDD in ext3.

You have to format your internal HDD in ext3.

Thanks. How do I do that? I need an idiots guide I'm afraid.

I looked to see if there were any plugins to format and couldn't find any. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Menu > Setup > System > Hard Disk > Initialize

If this not work, could be a HW problem of HDD. Try to use it on PC with some partition manager and delete all partitions on it. If your HDD is password protected, you have to remove it (password protection).
