Try to remember your HDD if you need to change the terminal from a Videotron technician...

That's pretty lucky, I'd say. There IS an intrusion detection, but I guess it was phased out in Videotron's port of SARA. Speaking of which, older versions of SARA did not even detect and format different hard drives...
Well, good to hear it's worked for someone now anyway!
For those feeling frisky, external SATA drives shouldn't be disabled on Explorer 8300's. Do note you have to get the Maxtors (and some WDs, I think) which specifically mention Explorer support, and that they're not officially supported by Videotron yet.  |
