    Unrecognized external hard drive!

    Also, when you say give it a "hit" from MyDish what does that mean? Do you mean contact Dish online?

    Unrecognized external hard drive!

    I unplugged the dvr, waited then plugged it back in and rebooted. Now it went from "must be reformated" to "unsupported device" to "must be reformated" and back to "unsupported device", which is where it's at now.

    Unrecognized external hard drive!

    Hello, I am having a similar problem. One of the external hard drives for my Dish 722 dvr won't let me access the data that is on it. It is giving me a message that it needs to be reformatted, thereby losing all the data, in order to use it. It was formatted and working fine before I...

    Transfer options for an "unsupported" Dish 722 DVR EHD

    Transfer options for an "unsupported" Dish 722 DVR EHD

    Hi, I'm just now trying to do this and when I tried to save the 64 DVD version to my DVD by right clicking on it and using "save to" and I started the formatting process but I got an error message that "Windows could not format the DVD". What else can I do?

    Transfer options for an "unsupported" Dish 722 DVR EHD

    I have a blank DVD-R with 4.7 GB of space. Should I look for Scientific Linus 5x online and download it onto the DVD-R? Is 4.7 GB enough for the Linux?

    Transfer options for an "unsupported" Dish 722 DVR EHD

    You're talking to someone who is not computer savvy... but willing to learn. How would I spin up a Linux distribution and where would I find it?

    Transfer options for an "unsupported" Dish 722 DVR EHD

    My other EHD's work properly, it's just the one EHD that's not working, thankfully. Would I have to go online and find a legitimate website for Linux and download it onto my computer? I'm not very computer savvy. I understand that each EHD would have to be plugged into a power supply to run...

    Transfer options for an "unsupported" Dish 722 DVR EHD

    The EHD was formatted for my Dish 722 dvr and worked fine. I used it one night, turned it off. The next day when I tried to access the EHD I got a message from Dish saying I couldn't attach to media because the EHD was "unsupported" and I had to reformat it or close it. I didn't want to...

    Transfer options for an "unsupported" Dish 722 DVR EHD

    Can newly "unsupported" EHD for a Dish 722 DVR be transferred to another blank EHD, PC or anything else in order to view its data? If I try to use it on my dvr it will only allow me to reformat it and thus lose all the files in the process..... thanks Dish2
