Hi
My first thread so please bear with me.
I have an Amstrad DRX280 Sky+ box that I would like to upgrade the hard drive. I've purchased a Western Digital WD5000AAKB 500GB drive for. I've also downloaded and installed Copy+.
I've searched round the net for instructions and followed those for the DRX180, but the box doesn't restart.
The new drive presumably is unformatted. After installing it, plug the box back into the mains, it does not start up, but stays in standby mode, the fan coming on for a few seconds then switching off, so I can't go to the SKy setup page ,press 01, select, etc.
Should I:
1. format the drive using Copy+ from a pc first before installing it in the Sky box
2. try the left+right, select option to reset, does that do a drive format ?
3. something else ??
All the net pages I've found suggest the box should start up normally and you perform a factory reset through the Setup, 01, select, etc.
Any ideas ?
