Hi all

first post here

Looking at his unit for my parents, as i’m more IT savvy

never used one of these recording type boxes before, but i said id take a look, as there is most likely a HDD in there

Got home and took the HDD out and put in my IDE caddy, with a view to just exploring contents or a checkdisk not realizing at first that the format was some kind of Linux

anyway are a bit of googling, i went into storage management on my win 7 machine, and the HDD was coming up as unallocated so i created a new volume without format

i have tried a few tools, linux reader etc but cannot seem to get anywhere, just errors about not being able to open/access

then i read about this humax check, and other tools which i cant seem to locate.

Am i able to rescue this disk, with the proper tools, or have i missed the opportunity by placing in my windows environment

it’s not the end of the world if the data is lost as my parents have a new Humax, but i said i would attempt to get the data off if i could

any tips appreciated
