Yup, HD box. The 320 gig drive came preinstalled, I got the whole unit, preupgraded, from Weaknees. I got the 160g drive in a box separately, I paid $50 extra to get the drive as a backup, just in case.
I use WinMFS and the copy function to move all my data, including shows, to the new drive. At the end of the process it asked if I wanted to expand the drive. I assumed this meant that it was upsizing from the old reported 320g drive to the 1Tb drive. For the most part, it seemed to work. I wonder if my 320g upgrade drive was set up from an S3 box, and I just mananged to carry over the issue.
