It should not really make a difference as you'r going to have to initialize the drive through the image into a Linux format any way, but if it wont boot using NTFS try FAT32 instead.

You can try following... disconnect HDD power cable. Boot the receiver and then install ntfs drivers and then shut down. Connect HDD and then restart.

Not worth it for one time use, but even a sisused caddy will do.

Why not pop round to a friend's place with a PC?

EXT3 is fine, however, I'd initialise it in the box now so it's EXT4 before you start filling it up with recordings.

Glad you are sorted. Out of curiosity, do you know what format the drive was in?

Yeah it was in NTFS; thought there was only nfts and fat 32, the polish bloke just sorted it free thought he was gonna ask for a bottle vodka:smiley_yup::smiley_yup:

Exactly: please do so.
