Problem discovered while running fix-disk?

Hello, I have just run fix-disk and this is the complete read-out. Can someone advise me what I should/can do next (if anything). Any help gratefully received. Should I just go and pour myself a large gin?

Partition table is missing/corrupt. If the disk has not been formatted by
the Humax, recovery by fix-disk may not be successful.

Searching for partitions...

Unable to find partition 1, exiting...
 
I suggest you forget trying to recover anything and attempt a reformat from the Humax menus. Failing that, a new drive is indicated.

By the way, we do prefer that screen dumps etc are posted inside [CODE]...[/CODE] sections, see Newbies' Guide to the Forum (click).
