[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1276199, member: 141969"] Well, it might be :D. I think that manual bookings are not used very often, so you may have found a circumstance that does not work correctly. If you have time, could you export your recording schedule, edit the file to delete all of the entries [I]except[/I] for the two(?) manual recording definitions concerned here, and then attach the file in the form of a zip file. I am curious to see if there is anything that looks odd about the definitions. I don't know. The only way to be absolutely sure that you are not inheriting a corrupt database is to delete the TV Server databases, but that is the "nuclear" option, so I suggest [I]not[/I] doing that just yet. Puzzling :confused:. Two things that you could try: (1) The next time that the disk shows 100% activity, open "Task Manager", go to the "Performance" tab, and open the "Resource Monitor". In "Resource Monitor", select the "Disk" tab and expand the "Disk Activity" drop-down. Click the "Total" column to sort the list by total bytes read/written, and then hover the mouse over the entry in the "File" column (or maximise the window). You will be able to see the filespec of the file that is being accessed most. The screen shot below was taken when I was using my HTPC to watch live TV using MP. The file at the top of the list is the MP live-TV buffer, and it is being written at 160 KBytes/sec: [ATTACH alt="watching_live_tv.jpg"]206438[/ATTACH] (2) The "nuclear" option for disk-checking in Windows is to use "chkdsk" with the /R option. With a large disk it will take days to run, as it reads and writes [I]every[/I] block on the disk. It preserves data by moving it somewhere else on the disk, but I would suggest that you create a drive image before using /R, just in case it all goes horribly wrong (e.g. a power cut whilst chkdsk is running). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
