if I can't recover 9200T recorded programs that have vanished, even though only 20% disc space free!The only reliable way to get them back is to open the box, connect the disk drive drive and use Humaxrw in recovery mode: see http://humaxdisk.wikispaces.com/HumaxRW

Thanks Martin, No joy though it only 'saw' the three programmes recorded after the 'lock up' problem.
Just returned drive to box and formatted. Hopefully it will behave in future..time will tell....Thanks and apologies if this newbie hasn't followed the correct protocols....Cheers Keith

No joy though it only 'saw' the three programmes recorded after the 'lock up' problem.I am guessing that you missed the significance of the phrase "recovery mode" in my post. If you don't use recovery mode ( -r command line option) then you won't see the lost programs. Too late now; so near and yet so far.

Yes it was all a bit lost on me I'm afraid but at least we've got plenty of free space now and the marriage survived.
I can't believe a Humax box can format a 160gig drive in less than 5 seconds which it claims it has, whatever it did do it does seem to have cured the locking up problems that occured regularly prior to format. Thanks again Martin.| Mon 19 Sep 2011 19:16:56 #6 | -
The 9200t format process doesn't check the surface of the drive - it just re-initialises the 'FAT' - (File Allocation Table) marking space as free.
