    Hello All:

    Well, I tried to upgrade my Sony FS750 from a 100GB 4200RPM hard drive
    to a 60GB 7200RPM hard drive and it didn’t work.

    This is the message that I received.
    C000021 bad Image Checksum. Image cryptui is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computer checksum.

    Does anyone know what went wrong? Is it say that I need to install a 100GB 7200RPM HD?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    L.A.

    I'm just taking a wild guess that your bios is set up for that 100gb, see if you can set it for auto detect...

    This is what I did.
    The 60GB 7200RPM was in my FX210 but it's new. I formatted it
    in my fx210, then installed it in my FS750. I used my Sony FS750
    factory recovery disc
    and that's the story. What did I do wrong?
