Happy ending.
Using the humax -r -l, humax -r -g, and ts2rw commands as above, then putting the HDD back in the Humax and reformatting, then taking it out again and using humaxrw 5: -p *.ts, the recordings with their list were properly restored; humaxrw -l 5: (without the -r) confirmed the HDD...
Yes, Trev, but I'd done my experimentation before seeing those posts - and had posted #26 before realising #21-#25 were there on page 2! Originally I hadn't known there was a difference between 'running as administrator' and 'running in administrator' - it's not obvious, and your #16 didn't...
Bingo! (I think.)
prpr had said above that I needed to 'Run as Administrator' and not just run logged in as Administrator. I checked on a thread in another forum (myhumax.org) where Martin Liddle spelled out what was needed for this:- Start -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator...
I summarised the PC & OS in my first post, but to reiterate and expand: Dell Studio 540 32 bit PC, running Vista Home Premium 2007 Service Pack 2.
The humaxrw I'd downloaded is identified as humaxrw-1.15-win32.
The Humax HDD doesn't show up with 'Windows icon'-> left click Computer, but it does...
Still no luck.
Have bought the USB to IDE cable with power, taken the hard disc out of the Humax, and made all the connections to my PC. When I switched the HDD power on I got a message "software has been installed" and that the USB mass storage device and the USB device with the HDD designation...
Hmm, more adventures along the way..
(BTW, thanks prpr too for your reply on Tuesday.)
For simplicity (I thought) I went to Maplins and asked about a USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE cable with power, but all they could offer me was a Winstars Communicator C1 docking station, which they told me would do the...
OK, thanks Black Hole for a quick, clear and concise reply. I understand that the operation just involves unscrewing, unplugging, copying out, copying back in, replugging and (literally) screwing up with I hope minimal opportunity for (metaphorically) screwing up and clumsily damaging the PVR...
Our PVR 9200t has just played this much-reported trick on us too. The Recorded Items list is blank but the HDD control shows a lot of space is still used. A quick new test record did appear in the list and played back all right. So I understand that to try to retrieve the file list I should...
