Group,
I am attempting to repair an echostar pvr.The hard drive failed.The broken
one is a ST300028ACE.The one I'm trying to use is a ST300028A,with out the
CE.These are identical in every way except the CE extention.The players
firmware looks for the CE,an will not allow a non CE to be used.Is there a
flash utility out there somewhere that would allow me to change the number
on the drive firmware to what I need?,Thanks

Probably not. The CE stands for 'Consumer Electronics' edition.
The players firmware looks for the CE, an will not allow a non CE to be used.

Or will not recognize a drive that doesn't feature the AV streaming command set.
