[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 808917, member: 323322"] In "PVR Information, you should have options as follows: Yellow - Format Blue - DVR Set If you don't have those, then it is possible that the box is not able to supply sufficient power to your IDE Drive. Others have reported success with SATA Drives not requiring further power, but you are the first to try an IDE device. I suspect that being older technology, they are greedier. Sadly, with only one USB port on the F3, you can't use a USB Y connector .............. perhaps the answer might be a cheap powered USB hub? [/QUOTE]
