Afternoon all,
I`ve got a Panasonic DMR-EX85 HDD/DVD recorder and the disk`s failed. I`ve replaced the disk fine but it`s still throwing an error. Looking online hints that the firmware may be stored on the disk rather than in flash, and that it needs to be booted from a firmware disk to reinitialize the new HDD.
Has anyone else replaced a drive in one of these, and is this correct? I don`t suppose anyone happens to have a firmware disk? Panasonic sadly don`t make it available on the website..
Cheers, Steve.

I`ve never known anybody successfully replace/upgrade a Panny HDD. :( You do need the files that a Panny service/repair agent has and I`ve never seen them available..

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..
