zzrider Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Instead of boring you with how the hard drive got messed up, I'll skip that part and get to the point. My Apple TV works- but will not do any updates, will not restore, and sometimes I have to unplug it and plug it back in because when I click a movie it will reboot on its own. So lets just pretend I have an ATV with no hard drive in it at all and I just went out and purchased a new hard drive for it. Does Apple have the files needed to install the OS back onto a drive so I can get this thing back up and running flawlessly as it was before? As far as I can remember the ATV HD has 3 partitions- one is a restore partition, one is called Boot, and the third is called Media? I think the restore partition is what has become corrupt. Anyway- if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it. PS- I'm not really interested in hacks or anything. Hulu runs like {censored} and thats the only reason I ever wanted to hack into the OS. TIA!
