How do you reset the hardrive on a Sky HD Box

This should really only be used as a last resort. This is because all the recordings you currently have in your Personal Planner will be deleted.

1. Press services on your Sky remote control.
2. Highlight option 4 using the up/down arrows and press select.
3. Press (number) 0, then 1, then select to access the Installer Menu.
4. Highlight option 8 and press select to access the Full System Reset procedure.
5. You will receive a warning advising you that you are about to delete everything that is currently in the planner. Press select to continue.
* This process can take up to 2 minutes for the Housekeeping message to disappear.
* If this is a second time do not attempt this procedure again
* If this is the first time the message has frozen follow the Connection Check Procedure below followed by the Full System Reset procedure again.
6. You will see a message on your TV screen, “Housekeeping Please Wait.”
7. After approximately two minutes the Housekeeping message will disappear and your Sky box will carry out the procedure and switch itself off and back on.
8. Leave your Sky box on standby for one minute and then test the recording facility to confirm that this has solved your problem.

Thanks for that. If I wanted to clean up the hard drive can you do it like you would a system update?

You have to follow the steps above,a system update merely updates the software,has nothing to do with the hard drive.

I found what I was looking for in another thread. It was a Hardrive wipe.
