This happened to me when I accidently switched off the Sky box at the wall socket as it was recording. I did try updating the software as described by Poppy10 (which did work, as the red light means it has power, and I think the software is stored on the chip, not the HDD), but it didn't make any difference, so when I rang Sky they told me to reformat it (as described by BigDNutz) which works fine, we just lost all the recordings.

I have done a Forum Search for BigDNutz and can't find his/her reformatting instructions. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks.
