Shamil ...dl the firmware update to your HD first and install from there ...if at first you don't succeed, a 2nd attempt often does ...firmware upgrades have become much better over the past couple of years and I no longer hesitate to perform them. ...reset normally only resets the preferences or settings you select to the factory defaults, it won't restore the original firmware. ...I'd e the techs first to see if the firmware update even addresses the problem you're experiencing. ...and of course, hindsight has taught me not to buy any hardware not on the MS HCL ...no matter what the sales guy or manf ads say, if MS doesn't list it as certified, you're buying trouble :( William Hindman Government is not reason, government is not persuasion, government is force.
