Hi all,
I have an HDR-FOX T2 exhibiting the error where it constantly shows "*deleting..." and greys out a lot of the menus as a result. For clarity - I dont need to or wish to save any of the recordings on the device, I just need to get it up and running properly again. I've installed CFW 1.03.12_mod_3.13 and attempted the fixdisk utility which has been running continuously for last 3 days. Initially I was getting lots of "Error at LBA ...." messages, and now I'm getting ones like this:
Given that I dont need to save my recordings, is it likely to be quicker to just reformat the disk and then let the disk check run on an empty file system? I can't format the drive or do a factory reset from the Humax itself as the installation menu is inaccessible because of the deleting error. I see there is a reformat option in maintenance mode but wasn't sure whether that is what I need to use or not. If the answer is "just let the fixdisk finish" then I'm OK with that, but didnt want to waste time having it try and recover files that I dont need saved. The box came from my in-laws rental cottage and has over 800 recordings on it, so that's probably going to take some time to process, especially if a lot of them are corrupt.
Any advice gratefully received.
