Canon IR HDD

[junkiemanxl]

I have success for the following brands of HDD for the IR3300-3320i series.
Hitachi 80gb
western digital 80gb
Toshiba 80gb

I'm pretty sure most HDD regardless of brands are able to do the job just as long as the RPM speed onthe HDD is compatible.
I'm using a clone software system to get my disk configured.

junkiemanxl, what clone software do you use to set up the new hard drives?

Just an fyi...If you go into the c:ServTool folder, where all the service files are stored on your pc. Then find the model you are looking for, there should be a folder called HDFormat. In that folder there should be 1 file that should look something like iR2200-XXxx0007-HDFormat.ift (depending on the version). If you copy that file to your desktop and then change the "ift" at the end to "txt", you can see all the Hard Drives that will work with that particular model. I usually look on a website at Compuvest Corp. for the Drives. You can get new and refurbished, they have been pretty reliable. Just make sure that you look for the right drive, since the list does show more than just the regular 9.5mm laptop drives.

And just a further note on .ift files...
Canon releases updated .ift files each time a new compatible HDD is found.
Make sure that you go to your regional Canon site and download the new .ift file and place them into your SST folder.
For MANY of the machines this .ift file can be modified although...I heard the latest gossip from Canon.inc the other day and they are going to begin encrypting ALL .ift files from now on.
They've already started with the new C7000 series....you CANNOT use a generic HDD in that machine.

Then wouldn't it be prudent to make a disk image the moment the machine arrives in an office and keep it on record somewhere in the even that the drive fails? At least this way all the special encryption that Canon puts in is restored without any problems.

I use acronis true image home to clone the HDD. One of the best and easiest software to use compared to a few that i have tried.

iR3300 HDD image

Guys, I have been trying for several months to find a solution, but could not do anything. I'm looking for HDD image (preferably generated by Acronis TrueImage), for my iR3300 (with network support). I would be very grateful, if you could put this image somewhere on any FTP server, or share it through the torrent system... Please... I really tried everything, but can't put the firmware on a new HDD.

Thanks!

Sorry Hejsan, it is not possible, because, u must clone 1 to 1 this disks, otherwise, machine is not run...

when i take image from original disk , make a copy disk from this image, i'll see many more problem.

HDD Clone

Thanks, haydar64 for the info... It means that my iR3300 is not repairable I can not order it anywhere else except my country. We have a strange financial policy in the organization

[Hejsan]

Thanks, Haydar! I already have the firmware and SST, but can not find appropriate HDD model

As a last resort you can try a similar HDD model to the one's listed in the HDFormat.ift file of the copier's firmware and use the instructions found in Copytechnet.com

I believe Oze a highly respected member of this forum uploaded the pdf instructions.

It's a bit hit and miss though with using a HDD not on the list. Some will work and others won't.

[nuno]

Yes you can.

I have already done that. It must be an ATA hdd.

[time2fly]

I think the most important thing is that the HDD needs to be low level formatted first.
