    HDR1 upgrade

    Reply Contact

    Hi,
    Is it possible to upgrade a HDR1 80 Gb with a 250/500 Gb IDE hard drive (yourself)? I can see in the service manual it looks like a normal IDE hard drive and it also looks like you can manually set the size of the disk in the service menu.
    What format is the hard drive formatted in (FAT32/NTFS) and which format are the recordings store in, is it possible to plug the drive in a pc and copy the files and then burn them to DVD?

    Regards
    Rasmus

    Avant CTV 28", V6000, DVD1, BC9000, BS3000, BL4000, MX4200, CX50, BeoCom 2, Beocom 6000, LC1, LC2

    The straight answer is I don't know but it is only an HDD. I don't see why you cannot clone the drive. There is the ability to set the HDD size so I don't see why not. There is a 250GB upgrade kit as detailed in the service manual. If you have an HDR1, I don't see why you couldn't try, though clearly there is risk involved!
