Certain digital video recorders (DVRs), set top boxes, and similar digital entertainment devices automatically modify (lock) settings on installed disk drives that allow the drive to operate with the DVR device's operating system. If the drive is removed from the digital entertainment device and installed into a PC, the PC's BIOS may not recognize the full capacity of the drive as a result of these modifications.
