Hello
I have been given by family member Western Digital 320GB disk from a Humax. The provider removed disk carefully and said I could keep (useful as external HDD for me) but in return I would try and retain video files for them. I have attached cables to power and SATA plug and downloaded humaxrw. On trying to interrogate disk as Administrator using humaxrw 2: -l I get 'not recognised as command'. Could you guide me further?

You presumably downloaded a zip file containing humaxrw.exe? I assume you extracted the .exe file; in what folder did you put it. Either use the full path to the folder or cd to the folder in question eg if you placed it in a folder called humax then you would execute it with something like
c:\humax\humaxrw 2: -l
Thanks.
I made sure humaxrw .exe was unzipped and placed in a file named humax directly below c:\
After entering command I got the following:
C:\>humax\humaxrw 2: -l
Unsupported partition
C:\>humax\humaxrw 3: -l
\\.\PhysicalDrive3: No such file or directory
C:\>humax\humaxrw 4: -l
\\.\PhysicalDrive4: No such file or directory

After entering command I got the following:
C:\>humax\humaxrw 2: -l
Unsupported partition
C:\>humax\humaxrw 3: -l
\\.\PhysicalDrive3: No such file or directory
C:\>humax\humaxrw 4: -l
\\.\PhysicalDrive4: No such file or directory
What happens with humaxrw 1: -l
[C:\>humax\humaxrw 1: -l
\\.\PhysicalDrive1: No such file or directory]
I've never used the programme in question, but your syntax looks wrong to me. Why use '>'? The command you entered is pointing to the directory '>humax': does such a folder exist?
OK the '>' is the line ending from the command prompt? Do you need an extra '\'? For example, from the prompt 'C:\>' do you need to type '\humax\humaxrw 2: -l' for example?
Monty, The humax file containing humaxrw is directly beneath C:
I'm using the '>' as indicated here:
[How to navigate between folders
The first command from the list is CD (Change Directory). This command enables you to change the current folder or, in other words, to navigate to another folder from your computer.
For instance, the command CD\ takes you to the top of the directory tree. To see how it works, after you open the Command Prompt, type cd\ and press Enter on your keyboard. You will see that the CD\ command takes you to the top of the directory tree (in this case to the “C:” drive).]
However I tried as you suggested:
[C:\>\humax\humaxrw 2: -l
Unsupported partition
C:\>\humax\humaxrw 3: -l
\\.\PhysicalDrive3: No such file or directory
C:\>\humax\humaxrw 1: -l
Unknown partition table
C:\>\humax\humaxrw 4: -l
\\.\PhysicalDrive4: No such file or directory

[Is this a laptop or a desktop? You might try 4: to 9: as I think in some cases the drive number might get pushed up higher. ]
It is a laptop, I will try 4 to 9.
