Can You Bake A Harddrive Using A Firewire External Harddrive??
Or Must It Be Always Hooked Up To The Secondary Ide.
Do You Need To Format The Harddrive Before You Bake It?
If You Bake A 200gig Harddrive Will My Philips Dsr-704 Recognize The Entire Drive?

Thanks,
Superboycifrr

The harddrive you configure must be connected to the secondary IDE; in a Series2 system (such as the DSR704), only the first 137GB of each drive will be recognized.
