use the right HDD -
Manipulate SST tool
If you open the hd format file in sst and change the name of one of the disks to the name on your disk it could solve the problem.
Remark that you must have the exact amount of characters incl space till the ; .....
Then make a hd format again and reinstall the system again.
Im not shure that it would help.
8,7 GB is enough for the most printing so if the MC is working ok dont change anything.
Try to load a big pdf and se if it starts to print abort the job and be happy...

You could conceivably install a 1 terabyte hard drive in the copier, but never use the extra space on that drive. Canon has the hard drive in the copier to do a specific job, and the space provided for by the hdformat is all that is needed to perform that function. They did not build this machine to be a file server, you can certainly buy a file server for lots less money than the cost of an 8070
So in short, no, even if you have a way to format the drive to it's full capacity, the system software will never access it!"Once a King, always a King, but once a Knight is enough!"

Hi how to change the HDD name in SST. The machine have 20 GB HDD how can i get the 20 GB from the current 40GB HDD.Comment

Thanks. but unable to find the post.Comment

even if you 'clone' the drive the partion(s) should stay the same otherwise it won't work - that why canon started sending out 80gb hdd clipped to 40Comment

My two cents worth...
You are correct about the cloned drive partition size...
The real reason Canon has gone to a 80gig drive is simple,, availability. If you had been purchasing drives outside Canon channels, and buying the same drives that are in the copiers, what you will have found out, is that those drives are no longer available. Those models simple outlived the manuafacturers run. Those drives don't even use the 40 gig you mentioned. Most of these models would run on 20 gig.
I had some 160 gig drives running in our 3.5" models. The excess space was not utilyzed, but the $60 price tag for a 160g drive was better than the $300 for a Canon provided drive."Once a King, always a King, but once a Knight is enough!"

Sorry abkonnet, I forgot that the 8070 was in the series that started to encrypt the format file. The 8500 did not. I do not know how to crack open that formatter. Only advice I have is to find same hard drive that is in the copier, or the one from the hard drive list I created, HTS541640J9AT00"Once a King, always a King, but once a Knight is enough!"
