Is there anyone in the Seattle area that has done a UTV Hard Drive upgrade? I'm a bit nervous about attemping to do this myself :-(


I'd be willing to pay for your time to perform the upgrade. I already have the 120 GB drive.


Please PM me.


thanks

I am not in the Seattle area but I can tell you this "Don't be affraid", it's easy and fun too. Just swap out your hard drive and plug the phone line in as the instructions and follow the prompt (only few). If it doesn't work, most of the time you can put the old drive back. We are here to help you if you have any problem.

Just make sure you get the UTV supported drive and you are half way there.

I have a 120 GB WD, not sure if it will work because I already installed it in my pc. Is there a thread that lists exactly (all) which drives are compatible?

thanks for your help!

You can search around this forum and here is one of the link http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...ighlight=120gb

I think it's easy to list your model out or search with your model. I believe as long as the hard drive has security feature it should work. The WD 120gb with 2mb cache works but 8mb cache DOESN'T.

For instance, I've yet to see a WD1200, or WD1200AB fail. A VERY few 1200BBs failed (mostly sourced from Dell) and most if not all of the 1200JLBs fail.

Make sure you can dial in to MSN first. If you can't you'll be dead in the water without a way to download the software.
