I'm struggling to avoid downgrading my HR10-250 to DirecTV's HR20, and the old box is ready for the intensive care unit.
It's unable to play very long without going through a stuttering phase and eventually rebooting.
I have the original 250MB drive plus a WeaKnees 300MB add-on that have been working well for a year.
I spent a weekend last month doing a scan of both drives with Spinrite, which ran successfully at level 2, finding only one bad sector on the original 250 mb drive.
My thought is that the problem is still (one of) the disk drives. And I'm considering strategies for reviving the unit, and maybe even retrieving the data. I'd like a sanity check.
My plan right now is to buy a pair of equivalent disks from WeaKnees and do an image copy from the old disks to the new ones.
Suggestions or alternative strategies?
