To all,

I come back with upgrading the Snap Server 1000 from 30GB, dead disk to a beautiful 250GB Snap Server.

Here are my specs:
Model: 1000 series
Software: 3.4.805(US)
Hardware: 3.1.1
BIOS: 2.1.363
Original HDD Size, 30GB.
New HDD Size, 250GB.
I follows the procedure given and all works as expected.

For temperature, be aware (as I am sure you are) that a new 7200rpm disk can give too much dissipation.
I have choosen a HDD with good performance, but with "not too much peak current on 12V and with a reasonable power dissipation".
I choose the 7k250 from Hitachi/IBM.
I use the unit without the plastic cover (temparaure rise above 55°C inside with plastic cover).
Without plastic cover, temperature between HDD and mainboard doesn't rise above 45°C which is within the HDD specs (55°C).

Thanks a lot to David help, procedure and for giving me trust to buy a new 250GB.

I have now a unit which works like before, which I am able to restore in case of HDD crash.

The only warning can be if like me your unit was delivered with an international OS (french by example), the OS image given will be in english.
So, just switch codepage to Western (850) and you can work with international files and directories.
If you take the procedure to create your recovering image, it should work also with international OSes.

Cheers everybody, John.
