Hey,
I have just encountered a massive problem with my 9300T and I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
I was watching a recorded programme, it finished, so I brought up my list of recorded programmes, and pressed red to delete the one I had just watched. It asked me if I was sure I wanted to delete it. I clicked yes. Then the screen went blank, and the fan came on. I then got the loading up screen and it went back to BBC1. I then went back to my list of recorded programmes and EVERYTHING has gone! Over 160GB of entire series, films, etc has completely disappeared. If I go to HDD Control in the menu, it tells me that 162.4GB of the hard drive is used up. So obviously everything is still there or the HDD would be empty. So why is nothing showing up in my recorded programmes list? Please can someone help me out here, as I am absolutely fuming :mad:
Is there any chance I'm going to be able to get everything back?
Interestingly, all of my scheduled recordings are still present. It seems very strange that my 9300T would just randomly delete 160GB worth of stuff.

Any help will be much appreciated...cheers :)

Unfortunately this is a relatively common problem, perhaps worse on the 9200 but not unknown on the 9300. The only reliable way to get the programs back( if you are prepared to open the case and attach the disk to a PC) is to use humaxrw in recovery mode. See http://humaxdisk.wikispaces.com/HumaxRW
