Are you aware of the "secret menu" ?

Press Services, 4, 0, 1, select

Then choose "housekeeping".

This prepares a new drive for use with Sky+

sky+

you need to choose full system reset, which is what i did as housekeeping did not work for me.A full reset prepares the drive,housekeeping does not and make sure the jumper on the hdd is set to cable select (cs)
