Quad Network Crashes

[madaboutlotus]

To add to my problems with recording, I have now lost the network a couple of times. I have checked my VIX Backups and all are gone as well as the image backup. Also all of the Picons have disappeared on the EPG. Using Filezilla I cannot get access to my Media or HDD folders and most of the folders on the directory have a ? against them.

What's the likely cause, has the image been corrupted?

To add insult to injury, my HDD has been wiped!

Sounds like you should start with a complete fresh flash and setup, do not restore any backups of anykind. Cant see how a HDD can be wiped

Hi
Well I don't know how the HDD can get wiped when I have not tried to install any plugins or extensions, all I have experienced is the network crashes where I have had to re-start the network again, so I can't understand it?

Hi
Wouldn't be able to restore any backups, they have all gone too!!

Start from scratch M8 (that's what I advised you to do the other day )
Are you sure that your HDD is OK? Connect it to a PC and run some diagnostics just in case.

Hi MArty
I was going to do a re-flash at the weekend M8 but the big crash happened before I could change it. I'll have to hook the HDD to another box and see if the HDD contents area still there, unless I have a SATA input on my PC, have to check.

Let us know how you get on

[madaboutlotus]

Will do, but I still can't figure out why the HDD managed to ger wiped

[marty]

You might find the stuff still there after flashing, or could be a duff HDD (that's why I suggest connecting to a PC to check for SMART errors)

[madaboutlotus]

Let's hope so.

Re-flashed but HDD still screwed!

Its possible that your HDD has failed and has been on the way out for a little while. This would also explain your recording issues as at the moment your the only one I know with such issues on a quad.

Hoorah, just hit the Mount button on the HDD and lo and behold all the video is back.......... Thanks Marty for you assistance and prompting. Cheers M8.

Now to see if the recording has been fixed as well. Here's hoping

[madaboutlotus]

Let's hope so Phoenix. Time will. I'll post an update.
