Thanks for all those comments. Adios......

Well, Black Hole, I thank you. The file that you recommended, duly rectiified, has done the trick. It did an HDD test, said all was well, formatted it, and I have succesfully taped something from the TV. But, really? Snippy? I am in your house, having been invited in, and the relationship would...

Ok. It now has an operating system FHTCP 1.01.09, loader version a7.30 80 BC.7E00. There is a big dominant sigb that says "The HDD storage must be formatted to use recording functions.

So might it be legitimately be working through the huge task of deleting lots of huge files? I am more than happy to give it plenty of time....I must say it didn't look as though it was going anywhere.... I will reboot and report back. Thanks again.

Thanks for your prompt response though....

Sorry would it be better placed in another area?
