    NVR Hanging during boot up

    This morning I connected the WD Purple to my Desktop Windows 8 PC and ran the PDVR.exe file and it came back asking where to install... It looks like it wanted to install in the Program Files folder on my Windows 8 PC so I cancelled the installation... The WD Purple is not formatted so it is...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    Thanks guys... The NVR (or is it DVR) only runs for 2-3 seconds before halting at the PCI Devices section. It starts off doing the RAM check and then the HDD check then onto the PCI Devices where is stops. I removed the old Seagate Barracuda drive and connected it to a standard Windows 8 PC...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    Hi Corey Yes, you are right, the old HDD is dead. With regard to the new WD Purple HDD, I have plugged it in but the problem is that it is when I start the NVR, it says: DISK BOOT FAILURE. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. So it doesn't recognise that a disk is attached (as this is the same...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    The estimated remaining lifetime on the old HDD is 14 days so I am assuming that this HDD is nearly dead. What do I need to do to get the new HDD working in the NVR? I have tried simply plugging it in, but (as with a Windows PC) that didn't work... see pic below:

    Above is the screenshot. I am not sure why my previous post didn't show this. Anyway, I bought a WD Purple 2TB HDD just now and replaced the old HDD but now it stops at the same location (PCI Devices) but now it says: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. This was the same...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    Thanks guys... I will try that tool and then decide on a new HD. My thinking was that a new HDD wouldn't be wasted because if it didn't solve the problem, I would just get a new NVR (which would need a new HDD anyway). Anyway, I will try that utility anyway. :)

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    I put the HDD into a windows 8 PC and it wasn't recognised by Windows Explorer but the Disk Management tool recognised it and stated that it was healthy. If i remove the HDD in the Windows 8 PC, will that be ok? I don't want anything to be written to the disk obviously as I'll need to put it...

    Hi Guys I have a WAPA NVR which is a few years old but it recently started rebooting itself a couple of times a day. Now, it fails to get past the boot up sequence.... it only gets about 3 seconds into the boot seuqence... It gets through the RAM check and the HD Check and then hangs when it...
