[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 820851, member: 75318"] Well done Ray! This morning I swapped my "Recordings" HDD for my "possibly failing" Seagate drive. I then started to do a Handbrake recode from the "Recording" HDD and the system locked up after about 5 mins for around 2-3 mins. When Explorer reverted back the "Recordings" HDD had vanished. It is either the cable or the socket on the MB. I will get a replacement cable later today and report back. The replacement HDD I ordered will come in handy - I told the GF that a new HDD was coming and she said "Does that mean I'll be able to watch my films again?". I tell you, give them ownership, take it off 'em and then you can do what you want so they get it back again... Should I try... " [I]Darling, so you can watch your movies and TV Series again, we need to get a 10Tb File Server and Gigabit LAN throughout the house[/I]" ;) Thanks for the pointer, it would have driven me mad.
