[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1075988, member: 176704"] [USER=412234]@LateAdopter[/USER] Many thanks for the detailed info - I have now restarted the process with the original 320GB HDD formatted as one NTFS partition, but (for the sake of a few minutes work) I will now (on a Win 10 PC) delete that partition and format it again as you suggest. BTW1: FYI, "Minitool Partition Wizard Free" is available here if you would like to have a play with it [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html[/URL] What I did notice about that s/w is that the formatting process only seems to do a "Quick Format" and not a "Full Format". BTW2: I think the lockup issues stem mainly from the fact that the SX88 and similar boxes have fairly "low power" processors that are not that "quick"(as evidenced by the relatively long times it/they take to change channels on the same satellite)- and so that results in lockups if you try to call up many functions too quickly.
