    I have an external USB drive full of recordings that is beginning to fail. Is there anyway to copy the recordings I already have to a new USB drive before it dies?

    Because the drive is set up with a non standard file system, the only way I can think of using a cradle to clone the drive to a new 2.5" drive other than a roundabout route using a digital modulator and Freeview-HD PVR to record the recordings in real time. Watch the recordings using the Freeview-HD pvr.

    Possible problems is that you are likely to clone the faulty sectors so finishing up with the same issues.

    Or if you fit a larger HDD the box might not be able to use the extra space.
