Installing this restore file will format your flash, recreate the file system, and re-install the entire OS.
If you have installed a storage device, you will have to intall it again.
Here is how to install the restore CD:
1) Download the file cw3000-restore-1.0.1.3a.zip
2) Unzip the file to get restore.iso and burn it to a CD with your favorite CD burning software.
notes:
a) We recommend using burnatonce software to create the Restore CD. Instructions are at the end of this post.
b) Burning an iso is not the same as burning a data CD. If you are not using burnatonce, you need to specifically use the Image Burn method in your software.
3) Once you have a CD with this image on it, insert the CD into the dvd drive of the CW-3000HD.
4) Connect a PS/2 (USB keyboard may not work) Computer keyboard.
5) Press the Power Button
6) When the initial splash screen appears (that is the one with the press tab line at the bottom) press the F8 button on your keyboard. The bottom line will change to "Enterin g Boot Menu".
7) When the boot menu displays, use the up/down arrow keys on your keyboard to select the dvd drive. It will be listed under a cdrom heading and named "Optiarc dvd RW AD-7170A". Press enter after selecting the dvd drive.
The system will boot and you will see text scrolling up the screen. You will see a selectio menu on the screen.
9) Type 1 for a "Dual DVB-S" System restore. Type 2 for an "atsc and DVB-S" system restore. Press Enter.
10) The installation file is large. Do not interrupt this process. The system will reboot after a few minutes.
11) Make sure one TV cable is connected to the CW-3000HD.
12) The system will reboot one more time.
13) The main menu screen will appear. Pay attention to the type of connection/resolution selected. Make sure it matches your TV.
Instructions for using "burnatonce" software to create the restore CD:
NOTE: Information contributed originally by MotleyFool
Burnatonce is free for non-comercial use. It is a small 3.8 MB download that is designed for burning disk images. You can download the install package here: Burnatonce
Once downloaded install the application. The default installation associates .iso files with burnatonce so all you need to do is double click on the .iso file to bring up Burnatonce ready to burn that iso image. Click on the write button and you get the image burned without having to worry about the difference between a data CD and a image CD. This may be a simpler way of properly burning the recovery image without having to learn the intricacies of the more feature packed CD burning packages.
