    Could someone please point me in the right direction.

    I've got the 4 dashes on the left hand side of the PV9000t. Looked up the FAQ, downloaded, humaxrw front-end and the humaxrw command line tools for windows 7. Neither of which can see the disk, which is IDE and USB attached. the Windows tray usb icon(bottom rhs) is asking if I want to eject ST3160022ACE, which is the 80Gb original. The only other disk on the laptop is a 125GB SSD.

    Can anyone suggest anything, or is my disk fried ?

    thanks

    I am not very familiar with the humaxrw front end; what parameters are you inputting to it?

    The 9000t series models are: 9200T (which is an IDE), 9300T (SATA), 9150T (SATA) and 9400T (IDE). Their smallest drive was 160GB.
    Are you sure your PVR isn't a 8000T? The later PVR-800Ts came with an 80GB IDE drive. Unfortunately the 8000T is not compatible with humaxrw.

    Good spot Luke. The Seagate documents on the ST3160022ACE date from 2003/2004 which would fit with an 8000T.

    Thank you for responding

    I'm trying to use the instruction in this FAQ:
    https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/stuck-in-standbylocking-up-using-humaxcheck-to-recover-a-failing-file-system

    1. first step of trying a manual reset didn't work.

    2. Tried using 'humaxcheck' with 'humaxcheck :0' till 'humaxcheck :9', and it can't read the hdisk

    3. Read in the forum that the GUI front end for 'humaxrw' auto detects the humax hdisk if connected. So installed and ran it without any option and it didn't detect it.

    4. It should be on port 2, as 'Devices Properties' tells me it's attached to device id 2.

    any thoughts on what do I try next ?

    Hi Luke, it was a typo... it is a PVR9000t, and is a 160GB Seagate, not the 80Gb 8000T, which I also have(it has replaced the 9000T, until I get the 9000T working again).

    Everything you have tried sounds OK to me. You mentioned Windows 7 in a previous post; is that the version of Windows that you are using?

    Yes, it's a Windows 7 laptop, I'm using. Do the utilities work better on Linux ? I have a linux mint distro I can try, if so.

    Do you get any error message from humaxcheck 2: ? Are you running the programs with Administrative privileges? I would say the Linux versions of the programs run equally well; note that the syntax for the drive is different in the Linux versions.

    I did run the gui 'humaxrw' as an admin, which didn't detect the drive. I didn't run 'cmd' as admin, so let me try that - thanks
