How do i copy files the easy way from my Humax Box HDR 2000T to a portable HD?
I did it once before after much faffing about but i have forgotten how you do it lol.
Welcome to our Forum
In media highlight the programme or if a series the folder you want to copy, press the opt+ key and highlight move/copy, press ok, highlight the ext HDD from the drop down menu and press ok.
For multiple items, use the red key to select the programmes you want to copy or green if it is all items before opt+
Thanks
I have just purchased a HDR-2000T 500GB
However i am having problems copying things i have recored on the set to a formatted USB stick.
I am able to get so far as copy. I am then told it will be copied BUT then nothing happens. What do I do next?
Welcome to our Forum
Never tried to a usb stick, use portable HDD if required.
Give me a few minutes and I’ll try on one of my units using a number of different size USB pendrives.
Thank you very much indeed.
I do all the above things and get to that last OK then nothing happens.
Ok caveat only tried a small recording (2mins) BBC1 and BBC1 HD
Format NTFS:
SanDisk 128GB, Lexar 8GB and 16GB – both timers copied without issue.
Format FAT32: (limits file size able to transfer to 4GB)
Kingston 16GB – both timers copied without issue.
What is the format of the USB drive you are trying to use?
Thank you very much barry
I am using a 4GB formatted 32fat
My machine recognises the USB and will play some files on it. The problem is when I want to add small programs recored on the humax
I seem to get right up yo the point when i tell it to copy the files from the Humax Harddrive to the USB then nothing happens. Surely i should get some message telling me that the copying is going ahead,
Yes you should see a rotating icon top left of screen.
Perhaps Files are to large, or not enough space on usb drive (unfortunately I do not have one that small to test)
Hello again
Success!!!!! After trying and trying it suddenly began to copy to my USB. As you said, there was a small revolving incon in the top right corner of the screen and the word copying.
I have no idea why it didnt work for two days and then suddenly iy did.
Thank you so very much for your help. very much apprciated.
In view of the fact that you mention the smallness of my USB stick. I have decided to buy a small Toshiba basic 500. It does come with a USB 3 cable!!! Will my Humax be able to use this cable?

Provided the drive is marked usb2 compatible it should work fine (virtually all portable drives are).
Very hard to find usb2 drives these days.
It’s only the drive end plug that’s different.
Its a Toshiba HDTB305EK3AA 500GB Canvio Basics USB 3.0 Portable and it says it is USB compatible.
Just tried to copy another file on the Humax but again nothing happens!!!!!
As it copied another file to the USB stick could there be a problem with the Humax itself?
