Humax HDR 1000S –Pop Up “Drive not formatted correctly” lost recordings – Arrgh
This evening I put the box on to buffer the rugby so I could rewind it a bit later after my chores!
I came back into the lounge to find a message on the screen along the lines of “in order to record you need to format the drive properly” or something like that…. I tried to exit but HAD to press the OK to acknowledge the message – this took me straight into the Settings menu showing HDD with 0 Available Size, 0 Used size, 0 Reserved size and 0 GB Total size – it then started to format the drive and I couldn’t stop it. Darn it – a wiped disk and obviously no recordings – lost loads!. Has anyone else had the same issue? My experience of PC hard drives is when you first smell a rat there is a rat so I will not have much confidence going forwards. Never had that with me trusty 9200T! I bought it from Humax Direct – should I see how it goes or not take the chance and get it changed? In hindsight maybe I should have depowered it and switched it on again. Cheers Macker6464 |
