Upgraded S3 HD, but can't re-pair w/DVR extender
Have an S3 with the TiVo-marketed DVR Extender (external 500GB), and the internal HD began to fail. So I bought and installed a replacement WK internal HD, and all is great...except I'm caught in a message #125 loop.
The S3 finds the external drive, and gives me message #125 (I think that's the number) to format/pair it. So I do the ol' three-thumbs-down and enter routine, wait a while, and it restarts and comes back. But it still shows the internal-HD-only amount of storage. And then, after a minute or so, it again discovers the unprepared external drive and gives me message #125. I've gone through the cycle a few times, and it's not "sticking." I've tried powering both down as well, but same result.
Suggestions? I'd like to stop both the repeated message and to have access to the additional storage of the external drive that worked fine pre-internal-replacement.
Thanks for any help folks can provide!
