It would happen even when it was almost empty. ANother thing , sometimes I would get a 9USB is full0 message while recording. It appened the first time when it didn't have hardly anything on it so I emptied it and formatted it. It was alright for awhile and then it happened again. After the third time, I've started emptying it and formatting it just about daily. So far I haven't had another incident. Does it hurt to format it daily?

Unnecessary, but no harm to format regularly.

I was going to try formatting with Swissknife but when I tried to open it, I get a message to go to compuapps to get a license but I click on it and nothing happens. Are there any formatting software that are free or how do I get Swissknife and how do I use it

You may have downloaded a paid version of Swiss Knife. V3 is free.

The stickies at the top of the Glorystar forum have many great threads that answer many of your questions and links to hard drives and software. Please review this thread for links to download the free version of SwissKnife and how to format. http://www.satelliteguys.us/glorysta...sknife-v3.html

The free version of Swiss Knife will not work with Vista.

We recently tested this external drive and it is now my favorite! Blazing FAST!!!

Only requires receiver formatting before the first recording. Starts recording and saves recordings in less than 2 seconds!
