Since the March re tune of Freeview my Humax 9300T started doing weird things with recordings. Recording programmes I hadn’t set and 3 or 4 lines of same recording. I reset to factory settings, turned box off at switch and I cleared the rogue recordings and all seemed to be well until tonight when it seemed to be recording a programme I recorded last week and just watched. When i tried to delete them the the box seemed to reboot and I have now lost all recordings.
When i check the hard drive its showing 64% unused so there must be something there but nothing in the recorded list. I have just disconnected power and waiting to see if that has any affect. any advice gratefully received.
You have given a perfect description of the progress of file system corruption. The fix is to format the drive from the HDD Control menu item in the record menu. If you want to recover the programs the it can be done if you are prepared to open the Humax, connect the drive to a PC and use humaxrw in recovery mode (-r option).
It’s not long since I fitted a new hard drive due to bad sectors in my original drive. I am familiar with recovering recordings via a pc so I suppose I will have to do that. I recall it wasn’t that successful last time and only certain recording were saved to my pc any I couldn’t get them to reinstall on the new hard drive.
I finally decided to abandon old recordings and start afresh.
It’s a good job we have catch up TV which helps.
Thanks for you advice and help Martin.
Nothing is easy with computers. I have taken my drive out of Humax to try and download recorded programmes using HumaxRW Front-End but the only programmes that are listed are ones that I recorded after the set went haywire after the re tune. Before I took out the drive it showed that there was about 64% space remaining but its only listing 7 programmes I recorded last Sunday. Any help on this problem please would be appreciated.
I have put my old drive back in my Humax while I have the new one plugged into PC.

As I said in post #2 you need to use recovery mode in your situation. As far as I can see the version of the Front-End that I have does not support recovery mode so you need to use humaxrw from the command line and include the -r argument.
Thanks Martin could you give me some more information on using the command line please. I presume that’s in dos?

I take it you have a directory called humax and within that directory is the humaxrw.exe file?
I get
j:humax
I type
.humaxrw 1-r
I think that should be
.humaxrw 1: -r -l
(I have used double spaces to try and make it clearer)
Thanks Martin for your patience.
Humax is on my T drive. I have a folder called Humax and humaxrw.exe is in that folder. My Humax HD drive is showing as disk 6 in computer management. I've attached a file of the message i get from Power shell when i type in the commands.

I think you need to launch Powershell with administrative privileges. What version of Windows are you using? Also where you have type 1 (numeric 1) it should be l (Lower case L).
Windows 7 Sorry about 1 should be l

When you downloaded the humaxrw software there was also a README file that got downloaded as well. The README file has got a few examples of copying programmes from the 9300T.
Finally sorted the way forward. Thanks to Martin Liddle for your patience and superb knowledge and also Luke for last bit of guidance.
