    Hi,

    I have a HD FOX T2 which is just over a year old. It’s been working absolutely fine until a few days ago when my wife said its not recording anything and there is a ‘funny’ message coming up. The message turned out to be ‘You need to format your disk to record’. A bit odd as it reported around 40% free space so could obviously see the disk. I did a disk check which hung, so having no other option did a reformat which completed with 93% free. However it still won’t work. Seems like a hardware fault to me.

    Hi Bob and welcome to the forum :-)

    As a format hasn’t worked then I would first try a default reset followed by another format. Then if you still cannot record you will need to contact Humax to get a warranty exchange or repair (assuming it was not a ‘graded’ unit which only has 12 months warranty instead of 2 years)

    Is this really an HD-FOX T2 which uses an external disk for recording or an HDR-FOX T2 which has an internal disk? If is an HD then try attaching the disk to a PC and formatting it on that before reattaching to the Humax.
