    Technomate initialisation of Hard Drive

    Hi there I could do with some input please, I`ve just bought a brand new and unformatted hard drive but after installing my box does not see it so I am unable to initialise it, I`ve reflashed the image hoping this might solve the problem but to nothing has changed, so am I missing something here and help will be much appreciated the drive is a western digital 1TB green star specialist for PVR use and exactly the same as the replaced hard drive

    Try formatting it with Fat32 on a PC then initialize it

    You don't see a Storage Devices option in Menu > Setup > System?

    there wasn't just after installing but after several reboots it appeared again but still did not see my hard drive, short of connecting it to my desktop to format to FAT32 I`m devoid of ideas, but I cannot remember having to do this in the past

    If the HDD is recognised when connected to your PC, maybe faulty port/connection on your TM Twin OE motherboard?
