It means:

Instructions 3a & 3b are done on your PC, not on the STB.

Hope that's clearer to understand for you mate.

once you have connected the external hdd, tell the box to go into hdd mode, the drive will show up in my computer, as the 1st available letter after your cd\dvd drives, usually e:, or f:

copy the files to the firmware folder on the hdd, change box hdd mode to pvr, box reboots.

install fireware from hdd, auto installs, job done
