I recently purchased a WD 200 GB drive and I was wondering if this will work in a HDR312 with 3.0 software?

Yup. I have a single 250GB drive in my HDR312.

Before you upgrade make sure you have an available MFS pair on the current drive or you will need to start over with a new image. You can only have a max. of 3 MFS pairs on the first drive, so if you have upgraded before you really need to check first.

Your two best friends for the process will be Search and Read. Its not difficult, but you need to know what you are doing before you start.

Yep, read up on LBA48 support:

Get an S1 kernel w/LBA48 support from the free ptvupgrade.com LBA48 CD v4.01 (no byteswap).
See the README file in the subfolder on the CD for the S1 3.0 kernel.
Do lots of reading on this beforehand to ensure you understand everything. It took me a couple of weeks of constant reading before I could setup my S2 with a 160gig disk.

Thank you both for the info. I thought since my pc wouldn't recognize the whole drive Tivo would be the same way. Any how so far so good.
