Hi all. Been racking my brains about this one.

I have the older DStv Explora with the 2TB hard drive. Reading many different threads it seems the 2TB HDD has 3 partitions, unlike the new Explora 2 HDD (1TB) which has 2. The new Explora HDD also used the Linus Ext4 file format (from what I've read). So a few questions:

- Does the DStv Explora 2TB HDD also use the Linux Ext4 file format, or MS file formats? (which ones are supported?)
- What are the exact partitions sizes of the DStv Explora 2TB HDD?
- Does the DStv Explora format function create everything you need if you install a new 2TB HDD yourself?

Would really appreciate some expert guidance here.
