Last time i looked at upgrading the HDD WD Greens 2TB seem to be the one to use but for the life of me i can’t find these on WD site to get a model number, in fact all i could find was 5 or 6TB versions, can anyone shed any light on the model number or do they even make 2TB ones anymore

The drive should be a AV drive rather than the standard green.
Rather hard to locate on WD’s redone site.
Should be able to find them as either AV/GP or search for one of the model numbers WD10EURX.
Thanks i’m looking at the 2TB but i get your drift thanks for that model number.

You will need to fit a jumper (not supplied) on pins 5 and 6 to select a 1.5 Gb/s transfer speed.
See http://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=981
The 2TB drive is WD20EURX.
To use a 2TB drive in a Foxsat-hdr the drive has to be formatted (EXT3) and partitioned externally. The Foxsat only has built in automatic install for drives up to 1TB. If using a 1TB after install and before recording, make the music/photo partition the minimum size to maximise space for recordings (elect to format both partitions).
Thanks Graham, I forgot about that.

Here was i thinking it was a simple swap
Well formatted to ext3 in windows and loaded her up but seems i’m left with Initializing Partition info and doing some reading from your links it seems i need a linux boot disk which is coming down now but will take the best part of 3 hours so i’ll update on Wed sometime.

Guys is there a certain Linux boot cd i should use?
I’m playing with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and making very slow progress, yes i can boot into the OS but it never sees the 2TB drive

Try gparted live, it’s small and designed for maipulating hard drive partitions.
You did note from the link above that you need to create and format 4 partitions on the disk?
Yea the partitioning and formatting has been done it’s just having an issue with creating folder, but i’m sure i read hear that you need to type something before the command to give you admin rights to do it so come back here to re-read the posts and have another go

Thanks for the help so far guys i have been able to partition and format to ext3 on all 4 partitions, I was under the impression that i would loose everything I had recorded but having read some threads here am i right in thinking if i plug both my old drive and new drive into a linux machine i could copy the old movies across and is it just the ts files i copy from old drive to the new one?

Copy all of the files on /dev/sdc3 to the new drive.
The sidecar files are necessary for the Foxsat.

You can also use the old drive in a sata usb cradle and watch them direct from usb and copy them back if you wish. And you can also use it as a archive device.
