    Aficio2075 Replacing Hdd

    Hi there,
    I'm having a storage problem on my copier (originally 2060, modified to 2075) and i want to replace my stock hdd (40gb > 400gb).I plugged to copier new hdd and powered up.Copier boots normaly but a few seconds after copier displayed hdd problem and many functions are gone.I think operating system is on hdd and all data is encrypted.Is that any solution to clone hdd or setup a new operation system on new hdd? Thanks...

      This is not your home computer that you can over-clock, add more HD real estate, change the operating system from Unix to windows or any other things like that.

      The machine has a proprietary controller board, NVM RAM, firmware and operating system. Before you ask...no you can't upgrade the motherboard with an Asus nor can you play video on the LCD panel by adding an ATI video card.

      The Ricoh 2060/75 uses 40GB of hard drive space no matter what size drive you put into it. It's built into the firmware, controller, operating system.

      You also have to format the HD after you install it in the machine. If you don't know how to do that...call your local Ricoh Dealer.

      Good Luck.

      I think I need an extra Happy Pill today.

      Relax! This firmware injection won't hurt...but it will take 45 minutes.

          You right this is not oem computer,
          But the problem is Ricoh technicans in this town has not any information for firmware, operating system issues, etc. (probably they are st*pid).They only can fix basic mechanical problems and selling copiers.There is no offical dealer or technican around the town, nearest dealer is 1500km far away here so i'm alone
          (If something wrong on my words sorry for my english)

              Then I suggest that if there was nothing wrong with the original HD...put it back.

                  Got your point...
                  You should understand that any copier (doesn't matter the brand) it's built by the manufacturer with a patented technology.
                  HDD can be replaced on your model with an aftermarket one but with the same capacity. Even if you will use a 80GB it will be formatted as 40 GB because the machine operating system want so.
                  I will suggest to avoid playing with the service mode (if you know how to access it) because you can cause more damage than you can imagine. With the firmware the same suggestion...do not upgrade it or modify it if you are not 100% sure what are you doing...at the end your machine will be dead and you will ending calling a tech from the nearest Ricoh dealership or branch ...1500 km away.
                  If your machine was moded from a 2060 in a 2075...I suggest you to call the same tech because he knows what he's doing.
                  If you machine is working fine...be happy and leave it like that.

                      Rusty,

                      If it's truly 1500km to the nearest dealer, I would strongly recommend trading the machine in on a brand and model that can be serviced both locally and reliably.

                      A copier is simply too service intensive a beast to try to go it on your own.

                      Even if you can somehow manage getting a service manual, how in the world could you ever order parts? What happens if you think you need a specific part, order it, and that turns out to not be the problem? Would you be able to return the part(s) for a refund? It's very doubtful.

                      Copiers simply aren't conducive to being a "do-it-yourself" device.

                      If you doubt that, try fixing a computer related problem with your car or truck on your own, and see how far you get.

                          Yes! You can "setup a new operating system on a new HDD".
                          But how?
                          Some folks in this, Ricoh forum, can show you the way.
