Sorry - wrong model number

It's not an HD-DVR40....
It's a Hughes SD-DVR40
Sorry 'bout that....

I don't have a hughs but I got the same problem with an upgrade I got for my TIVO. It turned out to be the drive hinsdale sent me was jumpered to MASTER, it should have been slave.

Problem solved

Turned out the IDE drive cable wasn't securely plugged into the drive.
We reseated it and the power-cable and away we went.
15 minutes later we were back working.
Thanks for the tip on the bad jumper.
