I went from NV3000 to 5000 with a 4 camera system.

I finally got everything to work including remote but can't record due to, the system telling me low memory HD that is. I have a 160g drive that appears to be partitioned as I have a C and a DVR drive. The DVR is 140g and the C drive where the software is loaded is about 10g with only 6g free. The system seems to want 9g. Does this make sense?
It will not let me record at all due to this.

Before upgrading I use to get almost 30 days of recording now can't even get one day.

it maybe still trying to record to the c drive.......go into the setup and make sure that the DVR drive is the only one entered.

then, reformat the dvr drive tomake sure that your old dvr software is gone, gone, gone........files and all.

then set only one camera to record............................then check it.

odd thing about aver, you need to start on the c drive, add the "d" drive, then delete the c drive. you can't initialize a new system to a "d" drive until you go thru the steps above............

That is exactly what it was. I thought the software was smarter than that.
thanks for your help.
