Just completed my first upgrade using copy+ and found it superb.posting.php?mode=post&f=6#.. Thank you. But...
I had previously upgraded the 40gig HD in my Pace Sky+ box about 2 or 3 years ago with a 120gig drive and it has been working without fault ever since. I had about 98 gigs of programs on it and wanted to upgrade to a 500gig WD disk. As I only had 95 gig spare on my Windows laptop (relatively old Dell that I keep for Windows only jobs such as this - I converted to Mac a few years ago) I decided to use a 1TB USB WD Book drive to save from the original disk. I tried EVERYTHING to format that disk correctly to enable copy+ to see it but I never did succeed (I ended up deleting a few not so important programs to get it below the 95 gig I had spare on the Dell HD).
When I say I tried EVERYTHING I mean it. I did Google searches on how to format drives, I followed the help on copy+, I even put it on my Mac and tried to format it there but to no avail. It ends up with 931.32gb of 'Unallocated' space that I did various types of formatting to in an effort to make it work. The disk also has 200 mb "Healthy (EFI System Partition)" that seems to be untouchable.
I 'think' I have attached the screen shot here:
I have at least one more Sky+ box to do and would like to get this external disk up and running so can anyone suggest anything please??
Thank you
