·Well, the time has come. After 2 years of having DP's I've decided to upgrade the hard drive in one of them. I just bought a new 40GB 7200RPM hard drive for my computer and will use the old 30GB 5400RPM to install into the Dishplayer.
I've always wanted to attempt this but was waiting for the warranty to expire. With all the bugs already in the DP I figured it couldn't hurt.
One question though, do I need to completely wipe the hard drive before I put it in the DP? The DP doesn't read a Fat32 file system anyway so it shouldn't matter right?
Wish me luck.
BTW: Best Buy is having a sale right now on 40GB 7200RPM hard drives for $99 plus a $30 rebate in the form of a Best Buy gift card. The sale and the rebate is only good for this week.
