suzuki98 0 Posted November 3, 2014 I recently upgraded my system and want to sell my old one. I want to format the hard drive. Can I do that within the program on dvr or do I have to remove it? It's a Swann dvr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don Stephens 0 Posted November 3, 2014 It should be able to be done from the DVR. I've never seen a video recorder that required the HDD be removed in order to format it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted November 3, 2014 Like most ...... You can only format a new HD on recorder Either replace with new or just leave ..... Will overwrite once new owner starts using Just remove all network settings from dvr before you sell i.e dans accounts. Email accounts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
