OK So I am new to Sky, got my HD box about a month ago and quite quickly filled it. I figured an upgrade was in order and I wasn't gonna pay £250 for a 1TB box, that's daylight robbery! I bought myself a WD10EVDSfiguring I would just swap out the drive and the box would sort itself out. I thought I should check if there were any gotchas on the web first and came across this site. I was already expecting to loose all my recordings and briefly thought Copy+ would save me then I read about 'darwin' and realized Copy+ wouldn't work :/ having read through quite a few posts I then wondered if my initial plan would even work!
So my question is can I just swap the current disk for my 1TB one and do a reset and the whole disk will be recognised or will I need to find a pre darwin image from somewhere and prepare my new disk with that ?
And once I have done the above is it worth me hanging on to my old disk in the hope that I will be able to transfer the recording off it at some later date ?
Cheers
