I have the similar problem (HD838 reboot forever after connect the external HD, i.e. you need to format the HD by HD838)
I think you may use the external HD with Windows or other OS, and you have copy many files to the external HD.
The OS of the HD838 seems find out all the files in the external HD, unfortunately, it may due to the OS or Application in the HD838. It will crash (i.e. reboot) after certain amount of file is examined.
If we just use the external HD for recording, then it should have no problem.
If we need to use the external HD with the PC (Windows XP, ..., etc) and many file will be copied in it, then we may need to ask Eight to see any work around.
I guess they may have some folder name, the OS will not check. Let say if the folder name is EIGHT, then the OS or Application will not check it, then you can put your files into that folder.
I've tried to mark the folder as read only and hidden (or even start with a ., file name start with a . is hidden in UNIX (or Linux, I guess the OS in HD838 is Linux), it still crash.
the format is .trp and you can use kmpplayer to view it; however only the "standard definition" recorded file can be seen. I heard that we need at least 2G ram in order to read the "high defintion" file. Does anyone know this?

Thanks. I never play .trp in computer. But if playing HD files (e.g. MPG), using dual core CPU with 1GB RAM is ok.
