    Hi,

    I'm trying to use HumaxRW to recover at least something from the disk of a Humax PVR300T that failed recently.

    However, when I run HumaxRW (or HumaxCheck) all I get is the message:
    "FAT: Permission denied"

    Can anyone advise what the message means, and how to progress beyond it? I'm running the programs from an Administrator CMD shell. Platform is Windows 7 64-bit.

    Thanks,
    Pete

    You probably need to be running as Administrator. Start>All programs>Accessories then rather than left clicking on Command prompt, right click and select "Run as administrator" (note this is necessary even if the logged on user has Administrative privileges).

    Hi Martin,

    Many thanks for the rapid response.

    I can confirm I have an Administrator command window. When I first tried HumaxRW (in an ordinary cmd window) the message was a plain:

    Permission denied

    With an Administrator command window it is now:

    FAT: Permission denied

    Thanks,
    Pete

    OK. So what command are you issuing?

    C:\<path-to-sw>\humaxrw-1.15-win32>humaxrw -r -n -l 3:
    FAT: Permission denied

    C:\<path-to-sw>\humaxrw-1.15-win32>cd <path-to-humaxcheck>

    C:\<path-to-sw>\humaxcheck-0.10W-win32>humaxcheck.exe -l 3:
