Here's a rundown of the issues I had and the solutions found:
'Permission Denied' error
In the end, this turned out to be quite easy, it was simply down to using humaxrw with the -n option in recovery mode. That is humaxrw 1: -r -n -l enabled me to see a list of the files on the disc. The -n...
In the end it was simply down to using the -n option in recovery mode. I was pointed to another old thread here by someone on the Linux Mint forum which I'd failed to find in a search.
As this thread covers a load of different stuff, and it's not all resolved yet (e.g. I haven't managed to run...
Well, that's a shame, I was hoping it would be good enough to do one last backup of non-essential stuff (e.g. the contents of my other, working, 9200) but I guess all good things must come to an end. :-(
It's interesting that there weren't any obvious symptoms until complete failure. The drive...
I ran the long test as well, and the output was essentially identical.
A also downloaded the Seagate Tools and ran them on the drive. The results were as follows:

I've installed Smartmontools, and here's the output of the short test:

As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong) badblocks is principally a diagnostic tool, and in Linux you'd use fsck to fix errors, but when I asked about it on the Linux Mint forum someone replied that it would prbably make the disc non-Humax format in the process.
This is getting beyond my...
More evidence:
I ran badblocks on the spare disc, and after nearly an hour and 55% done I stopped it with no errors found. Similarly with the disc in the working Humax, ran it for about half an hour (approx 25%) and no bad blocks found.
I then ran it on the failed drive, and at only about...
Thanks for the help, and for the Humaxrw programme itself, which has saved my recordings on a couple of occasions already!
I have the 32-bit Mint 19.0 ISO and a spare 10GB drive which I could use to put Linux into my old desktop machine. Presumably if I were to do that, it would render the libc...
I get the following:
piers@piers-Latitude-E6410:~$ dpkg -l | grep libc6

Thanks for the reply.
There's more info that I can give you, I'm not trying to hide anything! :)
I have two PVR-9200Ts. The other one's fine. I also have a third spare 160GB from a friend's machine that had other issues so he dumped it.
On the Win XP machine the spare drive can be read and...
OK, did this...
piers@piers-Latitude-E6410:~/Desktop/Humax$ sudo cp humaxrw /usr/local/bin
...so now have a copy in the directory you suggested, but my attempts to run the file in either location, with or without sudo and/or "./", still get the same error message:
sudo: unable to execute...
Thanks for the quick reply.
Could you please be a bit more detailed. I've been a Linux Mint user for 5 years now, but rarely do stuff via the command line except where instructed, so can never remember commands from one time to another!
For example, I just copied the humaxrw file, navigated to...
Hello,
My PVR 9200T packed up while I was away for a week. On turning on the Humax it gets through the initial startup screen and then hangs with a message saying something like "Please, Wait..." (I think it was that, the disc's out of it so I can't check)). With the drive disconnected the...
Thanks, that was exactly the info I needed!
I had renamed the files, but only with the programme title, and not with the date and time.
Am I right in thinking you're the person who created the humaxrw and ts2hrw software?
If so, could I suggest that you put a comment into the README.txt...
Hello,
I recently recovered a number of files from my 9200 by use of the humaxrw software. There's a thread all about it on the digitalspy forum HERE.
Anyway, the humax seems fine now, but I'm left with a large number of files all named "Recovered unknown - TS2HRW".
As an experiment, I...
