Ultimate TV (UTV) Hard Drive Upgrade
BubbaJoeBob writes: "I just read this thread over at the AVSForum that jeffm7 was able to upgrade his UTV 40GB drive to a WD 100GB drive. Other users are reporting that they were also successful using the WD 120GB drive." And aside from ending up with an apparently useless original drive, this sounds much less painful and involved than various homebrewed TiVO upgrades; according to posters on this thread, it's nearly plug-and-play (with a necessary download step in the middle).
oh my it must be winter - another fr0st pist!
I hope...
But since someone already got first post there's nothing else to do with this story unless I read the article.
I just installed a 120 GB hard drive in my computer. It was a Western Digital WD1200BBRTL, their 120 GB model at 7200 RPM. Read about it at CompUsa.com. The drive includes the new Data Lifeguard (TM) system; the drive seems to work even after I dropped it on my carpeted floor (only from a few feet though). Comes with a 3 year warranty too, so any other of those poor slobs that dropped theirs can call WD for a replacement if needed. Don't forget to use your 80-wire cable, or you can't get ATA-100 speeds. The drive's nice and quiet, too. Everyone else, if you're thinking of upgrading your UTVs, buy an extra drive and upgrade your computer! It'll mount under NTFS as one volume too, unlike some other filesystems.
uhhh wrong forum this is slashdot you may want to try the link mentioned
I thank God for sending Jesus to us and showing that we need not kill eachother, but defend and help eachother. The Bible teaches that it is not in question to kill a person, but whether you shall defend yourself and your kindred of friends and family from another person's wrath and repent our sins. I will always remember that Jesus killed nobody nor asked of others to kill anybody...as I eat the meat of a cow. You hath spoken the truth and we both shall be rewarded by our brethren and especially by Rob(CmdrTaco).
Any moderator stupid enough to believe this and not check the link is both stupid and on crack.
This pro-life post was modded -1 Offtopic and all the socialists(fascists) and communists(fascists) get modded up.
I just slide in a new tape into the slot and it works !!! Isn't that worthy for a slashdot post ?
Shit, do some research. They tried it in the forum and it doesn't work.

Moron alert!
Wow! It seems Osama Bin Laden has Internet access, AND trolls on /.!
Instead of wasting your mod points on downgrading ACs, would you please use them to upgrade good posts? Remember that ACs start at zero, and most trolls are already at -1, so if the average uesr views at +1 (default) then they don't normally see this crap.
/. great, rather than wasting mod points on reducing tuesdaytroll to -4.
I post this because I metamod a lot, and I get more dumb negative mods than good positive mods. Why waste points on obvious dreck? I have seen some great AC posts with great content, but no upmods at all. Look for those, that is what makes
Yes, this is off topic, and I'm going to get blasted out of my +1 bonus, but fuck it, maybe somebody will listen to me. Then I may get to read a nifty AC post with some info, rather than knowing mr. goatsex is buried 15 layers down.
Vote monkeys into Congress. They are cheaper and more trustworthy.
