    Have just bought a refurbed HDR 1000S 500GB following buying advice here.

    I have been reading the topic on HDD failures and read that some senior members have replaced their HDD with a larger HDD.

    Could you outline how to do this please for those with 40+ ears of reasonable skills in dismantling cars, PCs and other electrical items?

    Would an entry in FAQs be helpful?

    Many thanks

    Case screws hidden under stick on feet. Other than that it’s a straight forward job. Repassac and I have 2TB WD-AV drive.

    Before you ask you can’t copy existing recordings to the new drive.

    OK so pull off the HDD connector (SATA?) and power and plug into a new HDD.

    Does the drive get formatted by the box on rebooting then?

    Any maximum size of HDD?

    Thanks Graham
