If its v1 than upgrading HDD won't work it will say "corrupted data" than if it's V2 than the HDD swap will be sucessful and won't cause the "Corrupted Data" error Smile

Go to system update. If it tells you there is an optional update available, then you have v1. If it says your using most recent firmware, then your good.

Just try it and find out. if it works, it works, if it don't -> update. you can get update links to the 2nd 3.56 firmware, if you really want it. Just search here or google. :y:
