on pvr dreamboxes does it matter if hard drive is connected or not while flashing
-

hmm good question,,, I have not had to flash mine since i installed the hard disk so its always been done without it, what issues are you getting?
-
need to reflash to newer img to watch and rec at same time, so i was wonderin do i disconnect and risk having to format it and loose recorded stuff or leave it connected and hope it worksComment

can you not copy/backup you recordings to a NAS or PC just in case... surely the images record in the same .ts format.. If the data on the hdd gets dicked you could then transfer it back once the drive is reformatted..
Have you got a spare HDD you could try borth scenarios with?
Somebody on here must have been through this and will give a definative answer either way soon....

You can flash your dreambox with the hdd installed no problem. Backup your data first though.D I S C L A I M E R My right to post information is protected under the rights for freedom act.

never pull the power on a 600 the hard drive might still be spinning. Allways reboot using the option in the menu. it will say "it's now safe to power off" but listen untill you here the hard drive stop spinning. That way the box will remember its settings.
