i think you have to match the drives, or atleast have the larger drive as the primary......

anyone have any exp... setting up a netopia 4473w i forgot how to set up the pin hole settings

same can be done by copying the files from the old drive , deleteing all the dat files insid the video0 file and then drag and drop to the new drive within a pc.

install the drive on a pc as a second drive and copy all the files to a folder on your pc. open the video0 file and select all, then delete.

shut down and and install the new larger drive into the pc.

reformat the new drive to fat32 then copy all the files from pc to the new drive.

now shut down pc, remove drive, and install into the dm and restart.

ive done this to several dm ds2 machines and it works fine.

ive noticed it depends on machine as too how large you can go . in your case i think id just replace the small drive instead of adding a larger second drive.

do you have the original drives ?

hello ,

im hopeing a tech can help me i have read thru the forums and have tryed a few things mentioned.

i have ds2 3.1 031-net dvtu....i have had a storage hard drive failure and wanted to install a 500gb hard drive... the hard drive i have is a western digital wd5000aakb pata / 16 mb cache.

i know i need to update firmware but i was hopeing to do this as i install this drive as a primary... i have seen a few post about being pmed a technical data sheet with information on how to do this.

my attempts have resulted in wrong formate fat32 version error that ive commonly seen posted on the threads here......

i used a 3rd party formater as described in the forums but i dont think i did the dm download correctly as far as file extraction to the drive is concerned. im hopeing someone is willing to give me a walk thru to this as my efforts have not yelded the results ive seen possable on the threads

thanks in advance
