Hi, I'm a long-term Humax user and three of my satboxes are Humax CI-8100's - yes quite ancient! But I also have the later models too including the Foxsat HDR. My problem is with the old CI-8100 models as I have over the years been adding S/H IDE drives to each one and filling them up with recordings. Now i have about a dozen HD's and wish now to try and copy the files onto my Windows 7 PC for possible playback/editing/archiving to DVD's,
I can fit each drive to my PC via a USB 'caddy affair' and my PC recognises the drive is there, but refuses to read it. It is shown in Computer Management but as an 'unrecognised drive' or something. I suspect this is because the file system is ext3 or maybe something else? I have downloaded Linux Reader and running that it shows the drive, but when I click on it, its says 'cannot read from drive' or something. So the question is, how do I copy the files from the hard disks over to my PC.
Many thanks if you can help,
Barry
