Nothing at all would happen at first. No format warning, nothing. Then I read this post (which I copied below). Basically just turn everything on and then goto diagnostics menu. (Hold Select and then hold down Exit on the face of the box, press Exit again if you don't see it. You need to hold both in for 5 seconds or so.) After you get to the diagnostics screen, all you need to do is exit that screen. To do this, just press UP CHANNEL or your remote a few times. Then all you do is press the power switch on your harddrive and you should instantly receive the error that "DVR External Drive has been disconnected." From there just turn the harddrive back on and you should be GOOD TO GO. The menu will ask you to format the drive which takes all of 5 second.

Yay! Enjoy!

Didn't recognize drive at first after multiple reboots. Tried turning off and on as recommended in the forum. That didn't work. Finally was about to give up and when I turned it off, the DVR finally recognized the drive. The only thing I did differently was open, and then close the diagnostic menus before turning off the drive.

I turned it back on, got the format question, and everything worked great.
