     Major issue with installing CF HDR FOX T2 1.03.12 mod 3.02

     It happened again this morning, coming out of standby the first time I switched on. So, I guess it's not overheating, since it was cold! I telneted in and restarted to maintenance mode and did a short disk check, which completed, so this disk must have come back online. Exiting and rebooting...

     Major issue with installing CF HDR FOX T2 1.03.12 mod 3.02

     Hi, Over the last few days I am having similar problems, where the disk drive is not being recognised when powering up. If I go to menu->settings->systems, data storage is greyed out. The only way to recover seems to be power off the box for half an hour, and switch it back on. I am using CF...

     HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

     Thanks, that must have been it. I must be getting paranoid since fitting the new hard disk. I thought the custom firmware might have been doing something. Nothing to worry about. :)

     HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

     I had another funny thing yesterday, I'm not sure what I touched on the front of the box, but for a few seconds a blank screen with a message was shown, I can't remember exactly what it said, but the LCD screen on the front had 'TEST' scrolling across the front. After a few seconds the picture...

     HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

     I ftp'd all 4 files for each programme, and copied all 4 back again. I was having trouble playing back new recordings as well, so I turn it off and back on again, and all new and old recordings now play back again. Few! :)

     HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

     Hi, See attached image for the 4kalign output. The next problem I have is that I ftp'd the programmes back onto the new hard disk, that I copied off before the disk failed, but I cannot play them, it comes up with a message saying "This channel is scrambled or not available". Are they lost...

     HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

     Hi, See attached file for the warnings out of gfdisk when writing the partition table. I then deleted all the partitions and let the Humax format the empty disk. The second attachment shows the partition table it decided to use. How does this look? I was surprised that partition 1 started...

     HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

     Inside of gfdisk, I just used 'n' command to create new partitions, then when I finished, the 'w' command to write the partition table and exit. It was at that point that the warnings appeared, prompting to ignore or cancel. I can probably get a screenshot of the actual warnings later, and I'll...

     HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

     Do you know what the warnings were all about when writing the partition table using gfdisk, listing a whole set of sectors it could not access, is that something I need to worry about?

      HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

      I did try using the exact sector numbers as specified by the wiki page to start with, when it came to the 3rd partition it complained that it could not allocate as specified, and set alternate sector number (as is shown), which put it on a cylinder boundary, also divisible by 8, so that seemed...

      HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

      Hi, I was planning on replacing the harddisk on tomorrow, but yesterday the harddisk died altogether. Although it powered up (I could hear it), it did not mount, and any commands trying to access it (such as fix-disk) said "Device not found". On the Humax system menu the "Storage" option was...

      HDR-Fox T2 locking up with custom firmware

      Out of interest, is there a way to run fix-disk to automatically answer Y to any queries to fix/rewrite LBA errors? The lockups were after emptying the disk so there was very little on there.

      Hi, Screen shots of the diagnostics for the hard disk are attached. After stopping fix disk I reformatted the partitions using mkfs.ext3 as described on wiki/2TB_Disk_Installation_Blog but added the extra -c -c option to perform extra read/write tests, then reset the box to get a empty...
