    I’m not sure whether I should have partitioned this drive down into 3 250g partitions but I am formatting this to Ext3 as a single 750 gig drive. If you hear an explosion in about 1/2 hr I have failed again

    I am partitioning the drive at the minute to Ext3. I’m unsure whether I should have split it down to 3 250 gig drives but I am just leaving it as one single drive. More info to follow, fingers crossed!

    Can you advise please. When you said that your drive had 3 ext3 folders in have you any idea of the Folder capacities? Also what was the drive capacity please. “Processing”is still there either unbelievably slow or “hanging”
    Cheers for the info

    The first partition is 1.1GB, the second partition is 488GB and the third partition 11GB. The drive is 500GB. For a drive with a larger or small er capacity keep the first and last partitions the same size and change the size of the middle partition so that the full capacity of the drive is used.

    Hi Martin, thank you so much for the information. Very informative. Both machines now running. The 1800t with a 750g drive and the 2000t with a 1t seagate. I will reformat that 750g to your settings when I have watched all of the recorded programs. Both machines seem to want a factory reset on changing the drives and aren’t keen on seeing the “storage” until a program is recorded then all seems ok. Must be one of humax’s little querks! Once again thanks very much!
    Regards Norman
