I have a WD1200AB in my pc and I want to put it in another UTV that I have. What do I need to do it so it will work for the upgrade? I deleted the partition in XP disk manager and tired it. It called in and put a message on the screen to call Thompson tech support.


Thanks

Scott

Mine was in a PC first and it worked fine for the UTV upgrade.

That goes against all the original posts when this first came out.

The drive simply has to support the security function. It does not have to be a new drive. The UTV will format the drive prior to downloading the software as long as the origional partition has been deleted. Just make sure to remove the jumper from the drive if it was previously installed in a computer. The previous posts only mentioned that formatting the drive was not required and the drive could be used fresh out of the box. There were other posts that mentioned that previously used drives could be used.

actually, thats not true, when I did the upgrade last december I mentioned that I deleted the primary DOS partition prior to install
