System reset
 

As an adjunct to my thread 'Fit larger disk to Sky+', I'm at the
planning stage and I've had a look at the installer menu to ensure I can
get in, but if I access Full System reset is it going to go ahead and do
a reset or can I back out? I'm checking this stuff on my box, not my
wife's and I don't want to foul up my new box.
Where can I find more detail about using the installer menu? OK I'm
aware of the risks involved but I may need to do a system reset or
planner rebuild at some time and I'd rather clue up now!

As you probably know its services then 401 select then you can check out the
options available. Selecting them gives you a 'do you really want to do
this?' type of box to choose yes (select) or no (backup) so there isnt much
point selecting them unless you want to do it, and there is no more info
there, not that you need it, because there arent any parameters to choose or
anything like that.

OK thanks, I didn't want to set something off that I couldn't get out
of. As long as I get a backup or carryon option. that's fine!
So if I do a system reset does it clear all recorded stuff and clean the
disk?

There is (IIRC as I cant check it out right now), a system install, which I
suppose initialises a new disk (never used that), a system rebuild which
initialises a crapped up disk (and in the process deletes everything), and a
planner rebuild which *should* leave existing recordings alone and just
clean up the free space.
