    Re-Format your Drive to FAT32 and all should be well -- Also I use the TV O/P to my recorder [a bit of a pain I know] but sometiems Sky has problems with the aspect ratio using the VCR scart O/P -- Dave

    He could reformat it to super mighty morphin X-Factor fight-the-FAT 99 bit and it still wouldn't help - If its NOT a recorder then it CANNOT record.

    (Note: its useful to read the post carefully before answering)

    I could be wrong but there are limitations using fat32 and particularly file sizes no greater than 4gb. I now Humax HDR using linux OS and partitions

    My advice was obviously no use, sometimes I think why bother replying

    Hi Sillygoose

    I will try and get a refund and see if I can get this from Maplin.

    Hi Savemoney,

    Your advice was not ignored but I am not a techie at all and I went and had a look at the link you suggested and the thought of having to take the hard drive out and connect it to the pc was too complicated for me but thanks for the advice.
