What To Do with a Dead or Unwanted HDR-FOX, HD-FOX, or DTR-T1000/1010
Many thanks for doing that. Would you be willing to pass on to me the 2TB one with a fully working remote (mine is broken)? I am south of Edinburgh, so I would need postage, unfortunately. Is this a forum rule, or a helpful suggestion?- aekostas

Issues after crash: cannot view recordings; cannot see other Humax disk
Thanks bottletop. I doubt I have recordings on B since May; not a big issue if I do. I will do the check you are suggesting.

Issues after crash: cannot view recordings; cannot see other Humax disk
Doesn’t the fact that box A plays the box B recordings tell us that these used to have the same key? Thank you prpr. I will do a search, see how I can run the diagnostic. Re USB, the two devices are connected to the same network switch (which connects to my router). I cannot remember what else...- aekostas

Issues after crash: cannot view recordings; cannot see other Humax disk
For the umpteenth time in so many years, thanks for making time for my queries. Indeed B had its default key. On box B, I pasted in Settings->Advanced Settings->Encryption Key->Custom encryption key the box A key and rebooted box B using the WebIF; it still will not play my test files. Is this...- aekostas

Fixdisk caused HDR-FOX T2 to want to reformat the drive
Just to check in. I used a laptop this time, convinced it to see the USB drive and boot from it and got onto the System Rescue menu. I then tried the default option and the in-memory option and both of them finish with a black screen (no cursor, nothing). I am still to test the desktop (room...- aekostas

Fixdisk caused HDR-FOX T2 to want to reformat the drive
Thanks for the advice re desktop. I hadn't appreciated I could use the Linux boot to fix the Windows drives. I will seek a primer. Re adapter, I have two (one brand new), of different designs, with different power supplies and they both cause the fault. Not impossible for both to be faulty, but...- aekostas

Fixdisk caused HDR-FOX T2 to want to reformat the drive
Thanks again. The drive had worked very well for me for years. I can't quite remember if I had first fitted it in my Toppy, before I got an HD TV thus the Humax. And this is why there was so much in it. :-) This does not mean that I would use one such drive again for this purpose. :) Re new...- aekostas

Sorry, I thought I was following your suggestions; it's just not everything went swimmingly.

Many thanks, I really appreciate it. It still reports errors very early in the process as per below. I will try your suggestions after this run. Say it fails, is it ethical for me to format and sell it or is the hw suspect? I don’t have a use for it.- aekostas
