2. I think my disc is failing
  
  Glad to do so. It would be a beginner's guide which more experienced can cherry pick from hopefully. So either i format the drive or it asks to, assuming all is well i reinstall the elements from the webif that are missing after replacing the backup file via FTP.

3. I think my disc is failing
  
  Its just 15 to 20 quid for something i hopefully won't ever need to use again that's all. Happy to take the more time consuming route. If i lose my schedule so be it, as long as it works again that's the bottom line.

  How many sectors corrupted do you need to start to take action? Over 2000 today. Going to try a telnet maintenance session later.

  Are there instructions in the wiki ? What is the easiest way to transfer my recorded stuff? Can i just connect old and new drives to a pc and drag and drop? 500gb surely would take days to move across via the humax

  Thanks guys. I went into telnet. The mongoose was already set to auto but i redid it, and restarted the wifi just in case. Still not sure why it went wrong but appears to be working now. Will keep an eye on it.
