    Graham – I have looked through the menu but as you say there seems to be no option like this. I can say that the box is in its original condition and no hack or similar has been applied. I attach a photo showing the “Reserved Size” on the HD. I am certain that I was able to set the reserved size and it must have been an option at the time when I got the box more than a year or two ago. I used to have music uploaded on it. I have now tried several times to get rid of this but never managed.

    Thanks

    Interesting, did you try a disk format ? I see you haven’t got many recordings. I can’t remember what the figures were when I originally had the box (It had a 500GB drive).

    One for Barry methinks :-)

    Yes, I both tried formatting and disk cleaning (that’s why I have no recordings) but to no avail.

    Clutching at straws, what software version is on the box ? If I remember correctly the very early software versions did indicate a large figure for reserved disk space.

    Please quote what capacity HD disk model you purchased 500GB or 1 GB.

    500gb. Are you perhaps saying that the machine may need 58gb for the operating software?

    Those figures are correct for a newly formatted HDR 1000S 500GB version.
