Reconnect power to your box and of course the coax cables. The box should flash the front display for a moment then go black. Give it a few seconds to format the new drive then hit power. You should be back in business now. Mine fired up right away - as will 99% of all boxes.

If for some reason it doesn't load up, it is most likely having trouble getting going with the firmware. Call your cable provider and ask them to "refresh" your box. Failing that they can "hit" the box to try to push it back online.

Finally if that doesn't work, you can manually reset the box by holding down a combination of the buttons on the front of it. This wipes the firmware completely and re-downloads it from your provider. I won't get into that here, your provider can explain this to you.

Let me know what you think!

Ryan, out.
