Before doing it as it's such an extreme thing do you think it will fix the problem? (Kathy Burke recored 39 of 60 mins last night)
Many thanks| Tue 6 Jul 2021 20:19:53 #22 | -
I seem to be having a similar problem, I have reformatted the hard disk, do you think they has been a recent software update. Previously I have had no problems Software UKSFAA 3.00.98. Recordings are fine and all of a sudden playback stops halfway through.

I'm a real technophobe and wouldn't be able to tell you even where to find the software version! Hope somebody here can tell us what to do do as I'm lost what to do next...

Many thanksThere are other ways of checking the file system on a Linux disk. In your case it would mean removing the disk and connecting into a PC booted into linux and running the OS built in disk fix and repair disk errors.
However it's clear you do not have the basic capability to
1 install a linux distro boot capability to your PC.
2 Remove the drive from your Humax box and run the linux disk check and repair capability.
In this case your only option would seem to be a full hard disk format.
Without the above info. i have no idea if it will fix the problem.
However other than deleting all your existing recordings it should not affect even your recording schedule\ . The software and recording schedule are stored separately in non volatile read only memory (NVRAM).
In fact if you get a failed hard disk and install a new one. Your recording schedule is still there.

Based on your reply I wiil ask more questions on Sunday.
We both meed to set the same recording and compare software version to check outcome and timing. TBH my G2-HDR-1000S currently only used to serve live content to second TV.

HI Graham, you seem to be replying to old posts of mine on this thread. The most recent is that I have formatted the hard disk and it has not solved the problem. I get partial recordings (some as little as 2 mins) and others programmed where it just says Error in the recordings list. I have had the box aabout 13 years with n o problems, recording every day. I am at my wit's end with this, does it mean the box is finished?? I have given the box number before, the photo is attached again. I don't know how or where to find the software information.
