    HR54 had a 1TB Seagate drive installed. i installed a WD Black 4TB drive. i went with the Black because it has a larger cache and a better warrantee. I know the green would have worked because that is what my HR34 had.

    I've had 2 HR20-700s die in the last 2 months. The First one died in October and I did the upgrade path to an HR34. That box, my cats slept on and was full of hair so I understand why.

    You need to look in disk management to see if the OS see the drive. if the OS sees the drive, then from there you can reformat the drive. Start --> all Programs --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management Click on Storage --> disk management see if the drive is available.
