The current drive in there now is a standard desktop 3.5" size, so yes it would accommodate a 3.5" HDD. At first I was questioning the size of drive I could use. Since I know I'm limited to a max of 2 TB, I'm now wondering what one would be the better drive.

I was just wondering if I could put it in there and just have the extra space available if it was ever needed, especially cause of the difference on price. Some don't make any sense. For example, Best Buy has a 500 GB drive for $44.99 (though it's laptop size), but they also have a 1 TB drive...

I did look at the specs tab for both and know these differences: Mainstream drive -5400 RPM -6,000 megabytes per sec max transfer rate -Usage: everyday computing (according to Best Buy Specs Page) Black Drive -7200 RPM -768 megabytes per second max transfer rate -Useage: NAS (according to Best...

Following the instructions on the page, on the search it comes back with "Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment: BIOS" ... so it looks like I'm capped out at a 2 TB max drive size. I do quite a bit with scanning documents, videos, etc. that take up quite a bit of space. My...

This is my system (until I can do a self build).

I have an old Sony Vaio All-in-One model VPCL216FX that I'm looking to replace the hard drive in, however I'm not sure what the maximum size hard drive I can use in it is. Best Buy has a 1 TB (which is the size it came with when I bought it used) for $49.99, but they also have a 4 TB hard...

Also, when I did the: However it sound like yo are stuck on login / create user screen, so to break out here go New User > Facebook > F12, then ESC forthe popup dialogue ... when I hit the ESC it went back to the "User page" ... when I just did up to the F12 it brought up the Home Menu Banner...

The Boxee I have for the bedroom is stuck on the "Welcome" screen where you set up your network. When the network is set, it says "Connected to the network. But can't connect to the internet." (or something like that), and it goes back to the part where you enter the wireless network SSID and...

I plugged in a USB keyboard and wireless mouse into a hub and plugged it into the Boxee, but don't see any mouse pointer to "click the logo (top left)" ... I tapped F12 when booting, but it only played the welcome screen animation then goes to the "log in".

Just seen that there was replies on my post... not sure why I didn't get any email notifications.... Any ways, I have 2 boxes. 1 was logged in with a user, but because of a power loss from a storm, when it boots, it goes to the "Log In" screen. The second one was stuck on the "Log In" screen...

I thought about using Plex, however in order to use Plex, I'd have to convert the 1 to 1 DVD copy to MKV (as an example). I've tried a few conversions over to an MKV format, however that didn't keep the DVD menu, special features, etc; which was the point of copying the DVD 1 to 1. Do you know...

I was hopping to reuse the hardware that I have (2 Boxee Box's), since it's suppose to play in 1080p, however I'm not sure what distro, etc that it's running or how to access it. I'm looking for a system where it can play digital copies of DVD's (VOB, etc.) from a NAS/Network drive. I'd also...

I was hopping to reuse the hardware that I have (a couple Boxee Box's), since it's suppose to play in 1080p, however I'm not sure what distro, etc that it's running or how to access it. I'm looking for a system where it can play digital copies of DVD's (VOB, etc.) from a NAS/Network drive...

"There's good chance your files are still accessible, with little hacking" - the files are on a NAS drive that the Boxee accessed to play, they weren't stored on the Boxee. "Learn Linux (this is what I suppose this device is running), and start real hacking and making it work." - I've tried a...
