I'm wondering if you're having a conflict of some kind with the pre-installed software, or the drive's pre-formatting.
I don't accumlulate recordings for any period of time on my HR21-700, so I have no need for a bigger hard drive -- but I did want to try an external drive, just to see how it would work; and it did. This Seagate eSATA drive is great for backing up my PC, which is why I got it.

Note that mine worked "for a while" and then locks up. maybe within 30-90 minutes depending.
Deleting the software shouldn't have made any difference as far as I can tell anyway, the dvr has its own file system - I doubt if anything at all on the drive would be preserved after using in the dvr.
