New hard disk for IR3300

[adjei]

I have bought toshiba hard disk for IR3300 but dont have system CD. From where do I download one. Does it require any special routine to install.
thanks

[yourownfree]

yes it does require special routine

you need the service support tool version 3.35 a laptop or pc, a bicentronics cable or usb to parallel cable with net hawk installed. the system software package for the 2200/3300. is it a networked machine? I can point you in the right direction. Send me an email.

iR3300 Error (E000602-0003)

I would be very grateful, if anybody could give me the link to download the SST and Firmware for my iR3300. I have a laptop with LPT port and a centronics cable. What else do I need to set up new HDD?

And another question. As I am aware, the HDD in Canon iR3300 has a part No. WM2-5230-000. It costs about USD 500. It's really expensive... Is it possible to find a replacement to this "WM2-5230-000"? What kind of HDD is it?

You can use as replacement a standard 2.5 Internal Hard disk IDE/ATA interface.

Thanks very much! Should it be exactly 20 Gb? What happens, if I use 40 (or more) Gb 2.5 IDE HDD?

I even replaced it with a 80GB working fine.

Oh, that's great! I got two IDE 2.5 HDDs (60 Gb and 80 Gb). Will try to replace with 60 Gb HDD first.

What about SST and the Firmware for iR3300?

Thanks again for your help!

Formatting HDD in iR3300

I have downloaded SST v3.35e and the system image for iR3300. Then installed SST, opened it and registered the mounted *.iso image. After that, I connected my laptop to iR3300 via parallel cable (centronics), turned on the machine while holding 2 & 8 keys at the same time. "Download Mode" appeared and I pressed connect, then I selected HDFormat and pressed Start. In the pop-up window I selected the partition and pressed "Format". After couple of seconds it gave me a pink window with error code 145. I tried everything from the beginning and at the second try it gave another error. Am I doing something wrong? In the formatting window (at the upper right corner) it says "LowSpeed". What does it mean? In the manual, the same window shows "HighSpeed" in that box.

oops

Is the parallel port on the laptop set for ECP printing support? This is one of the most common reasons for the 145-timeout error on the support tool. ECP is set-up in the bios of the computer. The support tool WILL NOT WORK if ECP printing is not enabled. Nuff said.

Yes, it is! I have double checked it. ECP is set in the BIOS.

I hope, there is a backup image of HDD. I will download it, does not matter, how big it is. Please, help...
I can not format HDD, as I don't have exactly 20 Gb model here. I got 40 Gb Hitachi HDD (model: DK23EA-40), which is not in the list of the Firmware's HDFormat section. There is a *.itf file with the list of HDDs, but my Hitachi is not listed there.

Hejsan..
As you know it's hard to find exact HDD so you can try to put your HDD model in the .ift file
first you have to copy paste HDD model with same capacity then edit the model with your
it works many times for me
good luck

Actually, sometimes it tries to start a formatting process (without complaining about Hitachi 40 Gb HDD), but fails with different error codes (I can't remember all of them). Can I format them manually, when this drive is connected to my PC (using USB to IDE adapter)? I tried this thing, and made 3 partitions (2 Gb each) and formatted them with the FAT16, and one more big partition - about 10 Gb (but didn't format this last one). I left another 20 Gb unpartitioned. Then I connected it to iR3300 and tried to upload "All" in the SST. The process started (machine display showed "downloading...") and at the end this sign changed with "download failed". There was en error in the SST windows as well, that the process could not be finished properly. What a hell is goin' on? I'm lost...
