The 80GB drive (Seagate ST380020A) in my Series 1 (Philips HDR112) is failing
with intermittent playback but not in the same place when I rewind.
I bought a brand new 160GB drive (Western Digital WD1600AVJB-63J5A0) and baked it successfully
with InstantCake ver 1.0e, AKA "Philips HDR/PTV ver 3.0 NetReady TurboNet/CacheCard".
However, the newly-baked drive does not boot.
On the video out jack, I see the "Starting up" screen forever.
On the RF out jack, I never get the "Almost there" screen.
When I put the old 80GB drive back, it boots, so I assume it's not the power supply or drive cable.
The new 160GB drive is *brand* new. The date code is 24SEP2010.
So, is 160GB too big for a Series 1?
Is it a drive firmware issue?
Or do I need a newer version of InstantCake?
Thanks,
Andy
