    Hey Rick, seems you're having quite a time with HDD's these last couple days
    It has to be a bad HDD too, unless, it's from an old laptop and still loaded with Windows? That may cause issues if it's not reformatted before installing into a machine (but I'm not sure of that)
    NO, There is no way to format them until the screen boots up

      I got the 2022 going this morning and I had to replace the complete pcb . I tried the print scann option card from another machine but it would not work on the other board it only worked with the pcb it came off of any how I got it up and running and I used the hard drive from the 3025 . But now I went to put another hard drive into the 3025 and it wouldnt work . So anyhow I just figured out that I had 2 bad hard drives . wow what are the chances of that . Thanks any ways for your quick reply. I learned alot today.

        You're not alone. Most days it seems if i didn't have bad luck, I'd have none at all!
        Glad I could be of some assistance.
