Hard drive errors

[RobJW]

Hi all

After getting grief for the last few days from the family for scheduled programmes not recording and "*deleting" being permanently displayed, and following the instructions on this site I have just done a Maintenance Mode Disc Check. The results of which are below. This is way above my level of IT competence, so is anyone able to tell me if the problems have been fixed, and if not is there anything else I can do or do I need to think about replacing my hard drive. It looks to me like there was a bad block (whatever that may be), it has been fixed, but there is something still not right.

Many thanks

What version of CF are you running?
Run the disk check again and use CODE tags for listings.
Check the WebIf SMART data for the disk on the Diag page.
Oh, and post in the correct section of the forum!

 

[RobJW]

Sorry - which is the correct section?

CF 3.10 by the way

Should be in the Customised Firmware section of the forum, the section you originally posted in is for discussion of aspects that affect unmodified HDR-FOX (but a moderator will move this when they notice).

Please also be aware of posting conventions: see Newbies' Guide to the Forum (click), particularly the section "Code Listings and Terminal Output".

Attached are the hard disk attributes and logs from the diag page after the dskfix was run.

Does this help?

Some of the filing systems were not mounted before you started fixdisk, and it looks like it didn't check them as a result hence the error you got at the end. I don't know how to sort it out though.
