Now isn't there a smart tech on the net that know how too format the HR20

isn't a esata drive a sata drive with a external P/S and being so any sata drive would work if one had a spare computer P/S. Jumper the P/S on and wawla ESATA. IF So I have those part on hand and could start right now. I take it there is a sata port on the back of the HR20?

I tried it and It did boot but I was right back to round 1 lock ups. I did the GUI reset from the menu again and I am right back to a no boot situation again. Can I format the drive from power up?

OK is there a way to format the drive during power up?

the reset was from the menu (FORMAT HD )) The UNIT would lock up and the only way to get it back up was to put the power. It have not left it unpluged for an hour. I will try that.

Can I yank the HD and put in a replacement without any repercussion from DirectV. and will it work. I will replace their HD when I return to directv
