This procedure will recover your drive that you cannot access but all contents will be lost.

To recover your access to the external hard drive proceed as follows;-

You must reformat the drive but this cannot be done with the Humax or your computer as it is not accessible.

Dis-connect the drive and connect it to any other PVR recorder you may have. Note that not all PVR recorders can recognise the drive. So try all you own or a friends machine. I used a Technomat TM5402HD receiver and this managed to reformat the drive.

Now reconnect your drive to the Humax and format it again with the Humax file system.

Job done!#

I hope that this works for you. Regards Bill Higginson.
