My DVR is at 82% capacity so I decided to add a 1tb external hard drive. I made the connections and rebooted both the new HD and the DVR. On the DVR menu I now have two drives, one called the internal and one called the external. The internal is still at 82% and all the new recordings seem to be going onto the external drive since it is indicating about 5%.
I have read where others who have added an external HD have seen their capacity go from the original capacity, say 82%, to 20% or so after adding the external HD. They still see only one storage drive on their DVR menu. How to I get my two drives to combine into one, and why are my new recording going onto the new drive, leaving the original drive stuck at 82%?
