      HDD failure help

      And I am clearly a muppet. I am sat here saying "its just like the drive isn't shared" but not remembering that option exists. Long time since I went near it is my only excuse. Either repairing the system turned it off or God knows what did. Problem solved, many thanks - its been a tough day.

      HDD failure help

      Hope you guys are still out there. Having got the system running and awaiting delivery of my new drive I have discovered another problem. I cant stream from the humax to my laptop or tablets any more, I mainly use VLC and it cant open the network link provided from the web-if as before. Before...

      I think that point was well made and accepted ;-)

      HDD failure help

      I wouldn't but I did say "hasnt been" (past tense) for a reason. Part of it is decrypted already.

      HDD failure help

      The adapter sounds even better Black Hole. Thanks for the guides I have read of yours in the past too by the way. I understand the decryption thing and its not been a priority for me. I guess its a disk until its optical ;-). I dont tend to type accurately, lol.

      HDD failure help

      So as I am not really a techie someone talk me through the theoretical process of replacement if you will. I assume I take out the old HDD and mount it in a caddie then insert the new drive and let the Humax format it. Fimally copy the files form the old drive to the new. That work or does the...

      HDD failure help

      If just one of those benefits pan out its worth it. HDDs aren't expensive anyway. I dont need 4TB storage in my Hummy. 1TB is really enough but may as well have 2TB.

      HDD failure help

      Interesting and can get it cheap too (ah just noticed cheap was 1TB) . People tell me though that AV hard drives aren't necessary these days, I take it you disagree?

      HDD failure help

      Thanks again. Thinking about it I am sure I could open one of my redundant external HDD drives to use as a caddy, cant see why I shouldnt. As for the new drive its clear that my 1TB has been replaceable by 2TB for some time. Do you know or any to avoid? The spindle speed for the drive that came...

      HDD failure help

      Thanks prpr, I agree (but hopefully don't have to do it within extreme urgency). The USB disc caddy idea I hadn't thought of as I've never used one. The other way I guess would be to FTP the files to PC and back again, correct? I take your point about decrypting and in truth I dont need to do...

      HDD failure help

      Thanks guys. I was thinking I should probably do that as I've known the reallocated sector count has been rising consistently for a while and now this failure today. I don't use the custom firmware often in truth so hard to have a feel for how many per day. I dont think it would average 10 per...

      HDD failure help

      Yes I did update to latest firmware before running fix-disc. The disc diagnostic page shows this: ID Name Flags Raw Value Value Worst Thresh Type Updated When Failed 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate POSR-- 237183083 105 099 006 Pre-fail Always - 3 Spin_Up_Time PO---- 0 095 093 000 Pre-fail Always - 4...

      HDD failure help

      Thanks guys. The delay ended as I posted last and everything was progressive from there. Happy to report fix-disc rocks and everything now works fine. Would like to take my chance to pass on thanks to all the developers of the custom firmware and all the associated features/packages that rock...

      HDD failure help

      Sorry to be annoying but I have never run fix-disc before and if you are still there you can hopefully reassure me. Fix-disc started well and corrected a couple of seemingly minor errors. It has now moved onto pass 1 : checking inodes, blocks and sizes on partition /dev/sda2 and has stalled for...

      Thanks, didn't realise I could do that without the web-if running (and sorry for the brain slip). Will try that now.

      HDD failure help

      Hi, Hope someone is out there to give me some help as soon as possible. I am on custom firmware 3.03. Just returned from holiday with kids desperate to watch recordings to get an HDD error: "The HDD storage must be formatted to use recording functions. Press OK to go to Data Storage menu"...
