Thank you. Once I have done this I will put up a full "How to do it" for others to follow. Is it possible to transfer across the schedule information?

Ok, having read the Things Every HD/HDR-FOX Owner Should Know. I am decrypting all of the recordings on the first T2. I will then transfer them across to the new T2 with a combination of Filezilla / PC / Filezilla (Yes, I am aware that any files over 4GB might be cropped) But nowhere do I find...

As suggested in this thread, I bought a new Seagate ST2000VM003 2TB installed it in the T2 with no partitions on it, i.e. allocated space and it just worked. It was recognised and asked if I wished to format it. Voila, it is done. My original 500mb disk has failed.

Dear All, Is there an easy way of copying recordings from one HDR T2 to another one. I have foxlink installed but can find no instructions on how to us it. Or, is there a way to use FTP to transfer everything from one to another. Do I need to decrypt the files before transferring them? The...

OK, that worked this time. You have fixed it.

Sorry for having to change http to h ttp... The system would not allow me to post external links yet!!!

Dear All, I have just replaced a hard disk in my T2 and have reinstalled the customised firmware from a usb stick. That has all gone fine and the new 2TB Seagate disk is formatted and working. On using the IP address of the T2 I get the button to "Download and install full web interface" but...

OK, all fixed now. 2TB disk installed and formatted properly.

Just an update. I have removed the partitions on the old disk and replaced it in the T2. It recognises the disk and asks me to format it. I have done this and it formats correctly to 3 partitions. I am running fixdisk with the -P option as it failed with LBA errors to start with. Is there a...

OK, Partition Magic does the same thing. Having converted the disk to MBR the same as the old one it is still not recognised. I suspect that it is the SATA 1 / 2 issue that is more important. I will see whether I can get a SATA 2 disk.

Well now we might be getting somewhere. Yes, the old disk is P/N 9GW132-191 and the new one is P/N 9GW132-012. Are we sure that a SATA 1 disk does not work in the T2?

I am not sure what you mean. I have removed the partition completely. The new disk is not formatted as it does not have any partitions on it.

It does not show anything. Data Storage is not available. Dim. The T2 does not believe it has a hard drive in it.

Absolutely, it is formatted Ext3. I am using Partition Magic to view the disk. As I said the old disk has 3 partitions on it and Partition Magic is able to view the contents of the partitions. (This is the old disk that I thought had failed.) The new disk is completely virgin. It is...

Sorry for being a bit slow. I did not have a SATA PC into which to put this drive so have had to get a SATA to USB 3.0 enclosure to make it work. I have removed the partition so that the disk is no "Unallocated Space" and put it back into the T2. On switching on it does not do anything apart...
