When disk is mounted and initialized, it is reformatted. So you lose everything on it.
In theory as long as you mount the drive and do not initialize it you should not lose anything,but just to be on the safe side I would back up the hdd from your spiderbox before you do this through a FTP program or DCC,then if you do have to initialize the drive at least you will be able to transfer the movies back onto it.
I just transfer everything by FTP onto my PC first and then install the hard drive into what ever new box i have and then transfer them back.
I still have stuff recorded from my DM7020Si in 2007/08, mostly TPS & Multivision off keys before they merged with Canal.
I also have quite a few recordings from the Tequila channels off Digital+ stuff off TV Cabo and also, Digi Film & Premiere (Sly Germany) when they used good old Nagra2.
As long as they are in a format the Vu+ can understand then there's no reason why you can't transfer and watch them.
If that fails just transfer them to DVD or DIVX.
