Sony dvd recorder RDRC100
Has anyone managed to change the hard disk drive in one of the above? I think that if I take the 160 GB HD out and using another 1 TB disk of the the same characteristic to make a clone of the Sony disk, then I might be able to put the clone back into the machine and erase all the film and so get an empty huge disk capacity. I would like to keep all the films and documentaries etc that are on the first disk and if I can do it once I could do it any number of times.
Any ideas as to whether or not it would work? If I made a clone would it just be the same size as the original disk or might it leave the extra space as just a bigger partition? I was thinking of using Clonezilla or is there a better method? Thanks George. |

Found an (off-topic) article claiming the chipset is from Samsung: http://www.avforums.com/threads/sony...minidv.1274750 With dark marketing tricks the disk size may be a hard-coded constraint. If I made a clone... Cloning the 160GB on a 1TB will have it still reporting 160GB. If you want to reach beyond that size, the partition table must change. Chances are slim the firmware will support partitions. I would try a 1TB partition with the files merely copied over from the 160GB disk. Just make sure the 160GB disk stays unmodified in the process... It's your only fallback. Cheers! |
