              WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS.....
              I and many others have succesfully used old sky and vermin hdds, even btvision and tiscali ones... they are bog standard hds that can be used in any pc, even with letting windows format them.. im using a 500gb in an externalcaddy right now and guess where i got it from? thats right, sly hd box
              Fave replies from various threads

              1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
              2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
              3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

                              virgin hd's

                              yep hd's from virgin box are fine to use. good drives..
                              you just need to format the with half decent software. software on hirens will be fine..

                                  You have to reformat it. If you have w7 or vista go to disc management, delete the volume then create a new simple volume then quick format it using ntfs file system.
