Hard drive help needed
Came back in room and hard disk was click, click, click and error 7061. (The manual just gives 7000 for hard drive error) Can do nothing with the machine. My fave Music videos DVD-RAM also trapped inside. I have one or two spare hard drives around so I removed the Toshiba's 80Gb Maxtor drive and replaced it with an old Fujitsu 10Gb. The original drive was set to Cable select but I also tried Master. Either way I now I get error 7034. Any suggestions? I'm prepared to buy a new drive but want to be sure it will work! (Maybe they need specially formatting first?) And if I do I'd rather get something bigger than 80Gb - if the Toshiba will allow it? Hi
If even the second HD does not work then I don't think that your maxtor hd is broken. I would check/replace the ribbon cable(replace with cable of DVD drive) and connect the HD to the secondary IDE port. If there is the ability then also connect the hd to a different PC, just for test whether it works there.

Tom P. Thanks, Peter. I set the drive to slave and plugged it into my
PC as a second drive. It started clicking when I switched on but the system did at least recognize it as a Maxtor Falcon - though it said it had zero capacity and I could do nothing with it. I've since tried another disk (Windows formatted) in the Toshiba but with no success. I'm now going to try a Linux floppy I downloaded to see if that can format it as a Linux disk. Then I might try Unix. But I know nothing about either so I'm just blundering in the dark.

Then I got 7061 from the replacement if I set the jumpers wrong, eg, as slave or before I realized it wasn't formatted (!) But I got 7034 when it was formatted and the jumpers set to cable select like the original. Suggesting to me that the system recognized it as an actual drive but probably didn't like the format type or maybe even expects some other kind of system in the boot sector. There is a format command in one of the menus but this can never be reached as everything is completely out of action apart from the LED display on the front. >250Gb is $120 at Sam's Club These things are CHEAP now. Yes, I'm willing to pay but it might not be enough even to buy anew exact model of the original Maxtor 80Gb if it needs a system on it. So I don't want to throw my money away with being sure the disk would work in the Toshiba.

If you have the ability I would suggest finding a compatible system (forgive me but I don't know what a Toshiba RD-XS32SB is) and test the drives in the other system. If you only get the error with the ONE drive and it clicks when you plug it in call Maxtor and send it in - it's toast. I've had them be very nice to me when I was loosing drives. Heck they even upgraded me a couple of times because my drive had gone out of production. They are good people. Tom P. Fidcal wrote:

Similar PVR hard disk machines have an option to initialise the disk to the units preferences. Doc

Simply formatting a drive with Linux, or Unix will not work either, without that proprietary OS installed as well. If you have tried putting the RD's drive in your PC as a spare and it clicked, the drive is dead, so no need to pursue that any further, and there is little chance of salvaging any programs from it. There are many sites around that specialize in hacking Tivos, and miscellaneous DVR's. See what you can find, currently it seems like you are simply blundering through the forest

If you know of someone else with the same recorder, pull their drive out and use Norton Ghost to copy it exactly to a new 80GB drive, put the drives back in the machines. Maybe not an *easy* solution, but if you happen to know someone or know where to find one, it probably would work. On Fri, 13 May 2005 22:05:06 -0400, Rôgêr <ab***@your.isp.com>

Either way, if I can get it fixed I am going to remove the drive, stick it in my PC and try to get a ghost image so I can restore it myself if this happens again. This machine is absolutely great for TV recording and editing of videos to DVD but I want to avoid possibly hefty bills on what is a simple drive replacement as they are fairly cheap to get oneself. Thanks everyone for input
