Having watched several members suffer HDD problems, I fear now it may be my turn. The HDR has appeared to be recording, but one failed yesterday and three today. Both instances of the Formula 1 recording gave only a 5 minute file, with the message 'power failure interrupted recording'.
I've been following BH's "Steps to recover a hard disk ... ", but have a problem running the "Check and Repair Hard Disk" option from maintenance mode. I get the following (sorry - can't remember how to show text as code):
This is followed by a history of tests run. Has anyone seen problems similar to this, or am I missing something obvious which is preventing the disk repair from running? Thanks in advance for any help offered.
