Toshiba just announced the first combination HD DVD burner/hard disk recorder. The recorder has a massive 1-terabyte drive, allowing for up to 130 hours of high-definition recording, with the ability to archive up to 230 minutes of high def content to a single HD DVD disc.
In addition to HD DVD, the burner also can playback and record DVD-RAM/-RW/-R discs. The RD-A1 supports full 1080p output via HDMI, allowing viewing of “full HD” progressive scan signals. In addition, the device has on-board analog and digital tuners.
The recorder will initially be released in Japan on July 14th, 2006, and retail for 398,000 yen (appx. $3464 USD), so this is not one for the budget-conscious.

Hi there. I have a problem with an external Western Digital USB2 drive. It has become corrupted (Due, I believe to me unpluggin before parking)and I am now trying to repair it.
When I turn the unit on, my PC sees it (G drive) but tells me that it needs to be formatted. I then go throught the motions of formatting the drive (NTFS), but then, after some 4 hours of formatting, it reports: “windows was unable to complete the format”.
On somebody elses advice I even used a Western Digital tool to low level format the disk, and then tried to format properly again - but still, same problem.
I’d appreciate any help you may be able to provide. Thanks very much.
Oh …I am using Windows XP SP2.
Bob, I’m not sure this is the right place to post such a question, since it’s pretty far off the topic of HD DVD recorders.
You might want to post your question on the Western Digital support forums:
