The "co de format 10000 /reint" formats the drive and all data will be lost. Instruction are located in the wiki section of the forum. We have found that Digital Dolly is the mist widely used, comes on all dist of linux and bsd's. And there is a live cd version out too.
Most all 1000 support LBA48bit address, bios v2 and greater seams to be the magic number for all snaps os units.
LARGE DISK require OS v 3.4.805 and greater, or your out of luck. To check your version click on the SnapApliance logo from the admin page.
Do you know if you have a version 1 or 2 1000???
Version 1 has OS in flashram and were made by meridian.

I dont know what version i have, but im taking the drive home tonight so i can look then. But i do have a sneaky suspicion its in the flashram.
I have a few questions if you have a couple of minutes to answer them.
Ive read on this forum about the previous legal issues of downloading the OS, and without breaching these, is there a free version (open source) version of the 3.4.805 available?
I do not need to keep any of the data thats on the original hard disk, so will i still need to use the dolly program?
I dont know a great deal, but i assume that will depend on the version i have? if the OS is on the disk i will need to copy and if the OS is not on the disk no need to copy?
With regard to the "co de format 10000 /reint" command, i assume that your only formatting the new drive your putting in?
IF you have a link to that wikki to save me looking it would be handy
Thanks very much for your time.
