[QUOTE="barrykap, post: 367643, member: 179845"] Well, I have found out that I can take out the present hard disk and replace it later and still retain all the data, but what I can't do at the moment is utilise a new drive I have. It is identical to the one already being used, but having bought the new drive off ebay the seller said that he has formatted it. So when I fitted it to the CI-8100 it first came up 'drive error' then no way could I get to the RECORD section in the menu to format it as this 'RECORD menu item is not there. So it is not allowing anything to do with this new disk. It will accept the old one if I re-install it again and the RECORD menu item comes back again. It seems that once a hard disk is formatted Dos then it will not work in the CI-8100. Anyone know how to 'nullify' the formatted disk? ie So it returns it to it's non-formatted state? Thanks for any advice. barry. [/QUOTE]
