Hello,

I was since yesterday with Paul via PM in contact, concerning fitting in a 80 GB Hitachi Travelstar HDD into my MK2 device. I was spending a cupple of hours to get this new BIG HDD working. We decide, to let you know about my troubles and how I got it finally work.

I did try different ways to get it work, but only one way was successfully.

As I did explain above, I did try to install with the latest builder a 80 GB Hitachi Traverstar on my MK2. I did try as a primary HDD, as a secondary HDD without success. Then I did check on my Windows XP with a disk format, If the HDD works or if it's a DOA. It was working.

After all that and a cupple more builder executions, I did open my Backup MK2a and was letting the builder run on this device. This was working at the first run.

After that, I did put the HDD back on my MK2 and now it works also in this device.

It's really strange.....So I do not recommand an 80 GB drive for an MK2 owner, who has no Mk2a backup device.....

Thanks to Paul for helping me on that issue.

bye
