    I suspect my 4000T 2TB disk is failing as HDD Test is taking ages and I always get No Recordings for about a minute or more when I bring it out of standby. When it does finally show my recordings it is 89% used with 204GB available.

    If I get a new disk can I copy me recordings to the new, replacement disk? If so, how?

    I deleted loads of old recordings and my 4000T is back like new. I don't get the long delay with No Recordings when I bring it out of standby.

    It seems much quicker doing things.

    I have cloned my two Humax 5000t disks from 1Tb on to 2tB disks I did one with Acronis and one with Mini tool Partition wizard both copied perfectly bar one thing, I told the programs to expand the original to the size of the new larger disk and neither expanded, so I ended up with a 2TB disk with all the sectors the same size as the original 1TB, I have no idea why and have not yet got round to expanding the sectors on the new disk . but it is simple enough to copy your recordings, there are numerous clone programs out there and quite a few free ones

    PS, as for the notification of no recordings, I get that regularly and sort it by switching the humax off and on again and they eventually appear
