  Strange behaviour from HDR-FOX T2
  
  My new HDD has now arrived. Am I right in thinking that I can remove the old one, put the new on in, switch on, and it will take care of the formatting for me?

  Perhaps I could copy the relevant files to a USB stick while the old HDD is in the Humax and then copy them from the USB stick to the new HDD once it's fitted to the Humax??

  Thanks. I think this has gone beyond my knowledge. I wonder if someone would be kind enough to recommend which piece of kit I would need to allow me to copy all my existing package settings from the HDD that is currently inside my Humax (but when copying will be outside my Humax) to a new HDD...

  For the USB to SATA converter, would something like this be OK (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-to-Sata-Adapter-for-2-5-3-5-inch-Hard-Disk-Drive-Converter-Cable-UK/254549990587) I was going to get one from CPC (to get up to free delivery), but they're either expensive (£30) or USB C or for...

  That looks like a good option. I transfer or delete all my recordings so 500GB should be more than enough.

  All my recordings are already copied to separate storage, so I'm not worried about that. I'm happy installing the HDD and it sounds like formatting is easy enough. I'm happy installing the custom firmware. What I'm concerned about is all the settings for the individual packages. For example...

  Thank you all. Perhaps, given that they are known to work, a Pipeline is best if I can get the right one. Maybe for £44 it's worth a punt on an Amazon marketplace seller. This one (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-ST2000VM003-Pipeline-3-5-Inch-Internal/dp/B008B0RQ1C) claims to be SATA III. I...

  The Seagate Pipeline hard disks seem to be end of life. There are some available on Amazon but they look a bit suspect (being sold by third parties etc). Are there any other types I could get? Also, is there a forum page about how to install a new hard drive? (I'm OK with the mechanical bit...

  OK thanks. The Reallocated_Sector_Ct (assuming this is the same number as that in the red box) has been increasing very steadily for some time. I did some reading on the forums and found that others were reporting much bigger numbers and didn't seem very concerned, so I put it to the back of my...

  I was thinking things like all the packages (and their configuration options) that are currently on my recorder, along with the mappings to my NAS that are currently in the "ModSettings" folder. That sort of thing, to avoid having to set it all up from scratch again.

  The second fixdisk run is finished. It found three more bad blocks, but none of them is in use. Log attached (fixdisk_log2.txt). The 168 has gone up to 212, but no mention of pending and offline now. I've also included the SMART data (diskafterfixdisk2.pdf). Is it looking healthier now? Thanks

  I ran the fixdisk again today. All was fine until well into the long check, when it got stuck (Waiting 6458) for over an hour. Then the putty session bombed out and now I can't get back in on putty. The front panel says "FixDisk Init". Any advice on what I should do, please? Thank you.
