Disk Bargraph
Could some knowlegeable person kindly tell me how to see the
"Bargraph" assocoated with the Sky+ Disk? I have fitted a new 120GB maxstor drive, but the normal display shows 36% available, which is surely not correct. A Google search showed nothing of help. Thanks. |

I think I read somewhere that this problem sorts its self out after a while? Anyone know? I was going to install a 120Gb drive soon myself. Only from what I've read here,The Sky+ box does'nt alter the readings whatsoever (though a possible software update may be due so the box can *see* what size of HD is fitted) |

You have discovered the problem with Sky+ hard drive upgrades. The extra space is there and the Sky+ uses it but it doesn't report it at all. You can do nothing about it. The graph of disk space is correct - the figure is incorrect - it is the percentage of the first 40GB of the disk. SNIP It'll be interesting to see if some future software update ever fixes this problem because if Sky do release a fix then that will probably be a good advance warning that higher capacity boxes are on their way. I can't see that they'll bother to do a fix until they need it themselves to correctly handle space reporting for higher capacity drives. - Julian. |

What a crappy OS! sounds like an ancient form of Windoze In their defence the Sky+ only comes with a 40Gb drive so they don't need to support any other size. I'm sure that if the Sky+ is ever sold with a larger drive then the OS will be modified to take account of this and will then report what is there rather than what it thinks should be there. -- Digibox problem? : A reboot solves 90% of these.
