    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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: --------------- SeaTools for Windows v1.4.0.7 --------------- 23/08/2020 17:25:39 Model Number: WDC WD1600BEKT-75A25 Serial...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    I've installed Smartmontools, and here's the output of the short test: piers@piers-Latitude-E6410:~$ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb smartctl 7.0 2018-12-30 r4883 [x86_64-linux-4.15.0-112-generic] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-18, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    [Solved] PVR-9200 HDD failure, running humaxrw on a 64-bit Linux Mint PC and the 'Permission denied' error

    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...

    Humaxrw - Can I edit the name in hre files for recovered recordings?

    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...

    Humaxrw - Can I edit the name in hre files for recovered recordings?

    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...
