    HDD now not recognised on HD Fox T2?

    Just tried reading the 1TB HDD again, this time using DiskInternals Linux Reader. It shows up, but empty. Win Disk Management shows it too, but as Unknown disk. I remembered I had another portable 500GB HDD, just installed, formatted (ext3), and assigned it for recording. All good. Made a...

    HDD now not recognised on HD Fox T2?

    My problem was lack of powerpoints, so I took a punt and the HDD has worked fine on USB power, connected through the 4 way adapter since Oct 2012. Do you think that lack of power could be the problem after all this time? Like, the lower power supply could have caused it to fail, after time?

    HDD now not recognised on HD Fox T2?

    But, HD Fox does recognise other sticks. So, I had a 4 way USB adapter into the one the USB output on HD Fox. One port had a WD 1TB HHD for video recording and playback and in another port a 8GB Flash Drive with music. Both, have worked fine for a good 2-3 years. A day or two ago HD Fox lost...

    HDD now not recognised on HD Fox T2?

    thanks, I'll try that again later when I'm home. Pretty sure I did exactly what you've said, but worth another try. Tried Paragon, but it wouldn't start after install. Weird. BTW, even though the drive doesn't show in My Computer, it does show up as a choice when you eject disk. So, it is...

    HDD now not recognised on HD Fox T2?

    no problem. This stuff is way over my head and I figured I'd need to ask loads of questions, so I was afraid of clogging the thread with dialogue. But, I'm happy to stay public if it helps others.

    HDD now not recognised on HD Fox T2?

    no, it doesn't show in Win 1o or Win 7. Thinking I need to load a 3rd party app to see it. Installed Ext2Fsd last night on Win 10, still no joy. I've been reading that Win 10 doesn't do well with Linux files. Win 7 machine is at work, so I need find out if our IT guy will let me load a 3rd party...

    Thanks Martin, so just dump the extracted files above to a clean USB stick and then insert the stick into the HD Fox T2?

    HDD now not recognised on HD Fox T2?

    Thanks mate. Slightly confused by the versions. I'm on the factory version 1.02.28, and my hardware has the vertical tuner port configuration. Going by that does it matter which version I install? Also, the unit doesn't have internet connection. It's too far from the phone box. Is an internet...

    HDD now not recognised on HD Fox T2?

    Think I'll try the custom firmware. Nothing to lose. Can you please point me to the instructions? I know I've seen them, but not sure where. Thanks

    HDD now not recognised on HD Fox T2?

    No, I don't sorry. Can I move those files to a Win 10 laptop, then try to format the Ex. HDD to Ext3 again, and then move the files back on it? I know I can't play these files on Windows, but can I move them, store them and reload the HDD?
