I unfortunately have a Panasonic DVD recorder E85H. May God be my witness it will be the last Panasonic product I EVER buy. My DVD recorder went on the blink 17 months from when I bought it.
I take it into a Panasonic repairer and he says the HDD has had it and needs replacing.
A$465 for an 80 Gig HDD and A$150 labour. Now I took the lid off the unit and it's a Maxtor HDD, the same as in a computer worth about $80.00
So I figure if I can get another 80 gig HDD and format it correctly, I can cut out the A$600+ it's going to cost to fix.
My question is, can anyone tell me how you format the HDD correctly so I will work in the DVD recorder unit

Actually, I had a smaller one which I removed from one of my Tivo's when I put a larger one in the Tivo. Since all you are doing is formating it, I think you could match the size, use a smaller, or use a larger one. If you put in a larger one, let me know what happens.
