Help for my Live Hub,,, Internal HDD meets format error;

Hi, my buddys,

I purchased a WD TV Live Hub a few days ago,

with 1TB HDD built inside.

Since I never used such eqipment and be fully curious.

I opened it and got the HDD out, used SATA cable connected in my PC,

under the OS Windows 7, I formated the 3rd partition(about 930GB) in NTFS.

When I filled the partition with media and plugged back to the hub.

The Hub couldn’t be found ever, I picked the HDD back and use USB-Box

to link to the hub ,it can be read normally.

Are there wrong steps I’ve done to the HDD?

And can anybody help me with this?

Also, I have a think,

If anybody can make a .gho image of the 3rd partition and send to me,

I’ll try Ghost to recovery back my HDD’s 3rd patiton.

Thank you very much,

First of all why did you do all this, surely you should have realised that you would possibly break your player. There is being curious but you were just plain reckless. Curiosity does not go as far as to reformat a hard disk when you have no idea as to the original format or what the player requires.

However, with the drive back in the LIve Hub can you see the disk under the disk manager setting.

System Setup / Disk Manager. If you can see the disk, then select it and re-format it using the Live Hub. Hopefully the player will again recognise the disk and you will be back in business. If not then you have expensively learnt not to take things apart that you don’t understand.

:confounded:

By view so many topics in this forum, finally, I got the solution,

I got out of the HDD, and connected to my PC with OS Windows 7,

used its disk manager, and deleted all the partitions.

Shut off the PC and installed the HDD back to Hub.

Powered on, and Miracle came,

the screen notified : new disk found ,and need to be formatted.

I accepted the notice, and after a while, my HDD came back with 3 partitions

divided automatically.

Thx God.
