Hi,

From what I know it must have max. 8GB, FAT 32 formated, but you can try yours USB thumb drive, you have nothing to lose.

Thanks again for your help. I am formatting hard drive now.
I will be using the CK1.5 version firmware to load via USB stick drive. Is there a minimum size stick drive I need to use?
Smallest I have on hand is a 32gb.

The HDD should be minimum 80GB, NTFS formated. I never use it a SSD but I heard that it works also.

Thank you! Does drive need to be greater than 80gb or 80gb and larger? (only asking because I have an 80gb sata1 in my drawer)
Also does it need to be formatted as Fat32 or NTFS?

And you must reload software by AltBoot method.

Hi,

You can use any SATA drive above 80gb.

Our WC 7845 is stuck in a constant reboot loop. When you turn on green screen comes up, several seconds later it reboots and starts over again. Never completely boots up. From what I have read online this appears to be hard drive failure.

My question is will any SATA 2.5" hard drive work? Or does it have to be an exact replacement?

Thanks in advance for everyones help. With whats going on right now, and the downturn in business its causing, we are forced to pinch pennies and try and fix this issue in house.
