I dont mind losing the data but my question was prior to installing it into the DUO do i need to format it with FAT32 and then shove it in or is the initialisation process on the DUO formatting it to its own prop format so no need for me to do anything?
    You should not need to format the disc prior to inserting it into the receiver, as you correctly say you just need to initialize the HDD from within the image to a linux compatible format ( Ext3 /Ext4 ).

    I done the same, i took a drive from a slybox with all sorts of data on it, never checked it. plugged in the cables, powered up the Duo and it started reading the drive
    Yahoo, Then i ran VUCC and formatted it through the auto format and off we go, All epg fin, picons fine and now were recording. Happy Days.
    Great Tutorial, Cheers Eddie

    Which way is the HDD on Solo2 supposed to be installed, some say shiny side up is correct, others say shiny side down is correct.

    Code:
    http://sataid.net/forum/showthread.php/29934-Installing-a-Sata-hard-drive-in-a-Vu-Solo2
    This guy says that is correct but other guides showing on top, shiny side up is correct.

    Would obviously rather use the recommended way so as not to cause any problems.

    No live links please, as to how to mount the drive it really makes no difference either way.

    I want to remove formatted Hard Drive from Vu+ Duo and place into xtrend et9000 box. Will I need to reformat the Hard drive when I place into the xtrend box? Both boxes are running VIX images.

    Guys my duo is not detecting my hdd after I flashed with the latest image, so I have no options to initialize or mount.

    could i run a usb cable from the front of my duo to my laptop so I can format the hdd in the box, or will this not work and I need to remove the hdd from the box??

    Thanks

    You’ll have to remove the HDD from your receiver and try n format on your PC.
