cant see the info your asing about mate?
turned box of at the back but not unpluged

Try unplugging the HDD and see if it then boots? I've read a few reports of the PSU being weak which meant that when a 3.5" HDD was installed the box wouldn't boot.

The answer for these people was to use a laptop HDD which draws less power.

[the man]

it boots fine even now , its just the time/channel infos missing off the front

[IAmATeaf]

Oh right, understood. Is there ribbon connector or some other connector? May it's become dislodged when fitting the HDD?

[the man]

should the hdd be screwd down some how? mines sitting lose

Did you not get any screws with the box? I've not got a vu+ duo but from the pics it does look like the drive gets screwed in, possibly with the screws going in from underneath the box.

if you have a clone it is likely that the connections for the VFD are loose or not connected, this is a very common problem. as for the HDD cradle you should have 4 screws with rubber bushes, to fix the hdd to the cradle.

Vacum Fluorescent Display as in the front display that you say is not showing information any more, There is a ribbon cable that attaches the VFD to the main board just check this as it could have become dislodged when fitting the hard drive.

As for the hard drive i assume you unscrewed the four screws that hold the caddy into place on the main chassis, You should also have got a small bag of 4 screws to attach the hard drive to the caddy. Once fitted you screw the caddy back to the main chassis.
