markymark-ca 0 Posted July 20, 2013 My old Q-See system died. (RIP), I bought two used DVD players. Both with HDD installed. Q-See gave me the backdoor menu to reset the password, which is now default. OK, when the system comes on, it searches for the HDD, then a window pops saying it wants to reformat that drive. I enter the generic password, and another window saying all data will be destroyed do I wish to continue. I click OK. A window pops showing the format progress. But it remains on 0. After a short time, maybe 1-2 minutes the system go back to start and again asks for password, etc etc. The HDD is coming on. I put my ear down near it I can hear it humming. But not reading or writing as in a computer. The controller board has a green lite on it. And a red light on the mother board where the connection goes to the HDD. I tried several SATA hard drives but they all do the same thing. The system is working, it just is not recording. I think I see at the bottom of the screen the disk is showing N/F. Or not found? But the front panel shows ON and HD. Both are illuminated. Ideas Qsd2304L Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
