    Adding an External USB HDD


    1/ Box was switched on and i plugged USB HDD into rear USB
    2/ Waited a minute for the box to recognise disk being present
    3/ Pressed Green/Green to go into Extras Menu
    4/ Went to Devices Manager
    5/ My HDD was viewable here .. highlighted it then pressed 'Yellow' to format
    6/ This was a 160gb disk and took about 10 minutes to format
    7/ When completed a message should appear saying the box needs to reboot.
    8/ Once rebooted, went back into Green/Green button Extras Menu and Devices Manager
    9/ Pressed Red for mountpoints
    8/ On mine i selected media/USB as i already have a HDD installed internally mounted as media/HDD
    9/ Once mounted, it rebooted again and then all was ok


    If you are installing an Internal HDD


    1/ Switch off the box from the mains and install your HDD internally.
    2/ Once completed, switch box back on
    3/ Then Please continue as per point 3 above (for internal disks you need to mount it as media/HDD)
