Check out ebuyer. For your DM600 you need a 2.5" IDE PATA HDD

See this link Laptop IDE Hard Drive | Hard Drives - Ebuyer (http://www.ebuyer.com/search?store=2&cat=4&subcat=19)

They should all work, provided they are IDE. I'd go for this Samsung 120GB 2.5" Hard Drive IDE 5400rpm 8MB Cache - OEM - Ebuyer (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater.

I HAVE RECENTLY INSTALLed A HARD DRIVE IN A DREAMBOX 800 HD PVR.
AFTER INITALISATION, I FIND THE BOX RECOGNISES THE DRIVE, BUT REPORTS ITS SLEEPING. when i press the red options to record, the message is, ( not enough room 100mbs.) obviously it isnt picking up the sleeping drive, any help please urgent. 15. 4 2010. thanks guys.

i installed an e/sata 250gb drive to my 800, had it up and running about 5 minutes after switching the box on, you have to go into harddisk setup in the system menu, and find initialize before it will work.
