Like an idiot I accidentally formatted my hard drive the other day from the hidden menu.
I wasn`t too bothered at first as I`d watched all the stuff on there anyway but soon discovered that Raydons custom f/ware had got screwed up as well.
I`ve since read up on Raydons cfw and found out that it actually resides on the photo/music partition so maybe that was to be expected? but unsure as to this.
I thought (at first) that along with the original Humax firmware, Raydons would have remained untouched as well but thinking about it, I`m guessing that the Humax firmware is probably stored in a ram chip on the motherboard somewhere otherwise upgrading the hard drive would of course be impossible. (waffle)
Anyway, I reloaded Raydons f/w again thinking that it would just overwrite the whole lot but it didn`t.
There seemed to be something left behind from the previous now corrupted installation. I tried it a few times before giving up and realising there was more to it.
Formatting the music/photo partition had no effect regards actually removing all the crud from the partition. I bet there`s a reason for this.
Then tried "reflashing" the firmware back to the Humax original 1.00.21 and re-installing Raydons which of course was a complete waste of time as I think doing this only removes the extended Raydon f/w on the music/photo partition (or renders it inaccessible) - only not so in my case.
Anyway, to cut a short story long, the last thing I thought of trying was to change the disc partition sizes prior to format.
Maybe this might mess the partition up enough to make it throw up and delete everything I thought
Result - Happiness.
Sorry to bore you all with my experience but..............
1. Don`t mess with owt in the hidden menu thingy.
2. If you accidentally format the drive and are using Raydons f/w just do the above.
