Hey everybody!
Got a Panasonic 30-hour model a few weeks ago, and I love it. So.. I decided to add a 45-Gig drive I had lying around, a Maxtor, as a 2-drive system. The problem is, it seems to work, but as soon as the recorded passes the 30 hour point, it locks up- well, nearly locks up, becomes ridiculously slow to use, takes 30-60 seconds to make a selection, etc. Any suggestions what I did wrong? This is the procedure I followed:
1. Used MAXDIAG to LLF my 45G 5400rpm drive.
2. Removed 30G from Showstopper.
3. Attached 30G as Sec-0 and 45G as Sec-1 (Slave)
4. Loaded Win2k RTVHack
5. Backed up 30G
6. Selected Dual Drive, 30G as #1, 45G as #2
7. When procedure complete, both listed properly as Replay #1 and Replay #2
8. Unhooked both, plugged 'em into ReplayTV- with a fan added to keep 'em cool
9. Replay on, works a-okay- UNTIL you reach 30+ hours, then crash!
**Edited: I've since read that Write Verification should be set to OFF- I believe I stupidly confused this with Acoustic Management, which I had read could be OFF or ON, wouldn't matter. Would Write Verification ON cause this sort of reaction? Thanks!**
So anyhow, that's it. Is there any point I'm missing? I previously used the 45G as a Fat32 drive, and simply did the LLF, figuring it would wipe everything off, which it did. I assumed it would work (This is my first attempt), since the RTVHack programmed reported the correct size, listed them correctly as drive 1 and 2... am I missing something? Did I need to copy the backed-up 30G data to the secondary drive? Any suggestions at all? I don't really have the cash (or desire) to go buy an 80G drive, but the 20 hours @ Medium isn't enough, really. Thanks in advance!
