Hello from Norway!
Firstly, thanks for a great forum, and much fine reading. This is my first post here on Tom's Hardware.
I have an ADB 5743CDX cable television decoder as standard has a WD 5000AVDS (500Mb) internal hard drive. I made an attempt to install a Samsung ST3100033AS (1TB) for see if I got bigger recording capacity. I did that. From 73 hours to about 150 hours.
The job was very simple. I installed a new unformatted disk in the decoder, and all update happening via LAN and coax cable.
I would pursue these, and installed a WD 20EZRX (2TB), and increased recording time from 73 hours to 232 hours. The same basic procedure as mentioned above. Pug and play.
So the problem: When I was going to install the WD 5000AVDS disk in my Lenovo, then can not find my PC this disc. I have tried to install it in different ones machines, but it does not come up in disk management.
Some I have spoken to suggest that the disk is defective, and this is something ADB decoder doing to prevent content from being copied.
As mentioned, whether I connect the drive to the SATA or via a USB enclosure does not appear this disc on my PC.
Is there anyone out there who has a suggestion for how I get life in this drive again? The content I'm not interested in keeping.
If I take the same hard drive and mount it in ADB decoder , so it works perfectly again . I suspect ADB to remove neo important files for booting in a conventional computer .
Thank you in advance for your attention.
Sorry for my bad English grammar.
Best Regards Paal
