This program is an alternative to HummyReadFiles and HDC. Its main function is to provide a means to transfer the les from an old hard disk to a new disk when upgrading. It can also be used to backup les to/from a host computer (if say a reformat becomes necessary). It does not perform defragmentation as such, but if you copy all the les onto a host drive, reformat, then copy all the les back, the drive will then be defragmented. The disadvantage is that it is very much command line driven. It can operate in one of three modes: 1. Copy les to/from the Humax disk onto the host computer. 2. If two Humax disks are connected to the host computer it can transfer the les directly from one to the other. 3. Recovery mode - used if the record list is missing/corrupt - list and retrieve recordings Features List recordings Copy recordings to the host computer Copy previously saved recordings back from the host to the Humax disk Copy recordings between two 9200T formatted disks Read the additional information about a programme Delete a programme Backup all programmes Recovery mode - list and retrieve recordings if the record list is missing/corrupt When copying a recording from the Humax disk it will create the .ts le and three other les (.hre, .elu & .epg). These les contain all the information about the recording from the Humax disk. In order for the Humax to be able to play back the ts le when it is written to a new disk, some of these les must be present. They are as follows: .hre: Record list entry - this contains PID information about the ts le and must be present. .elu: This contains timing information. If it is missing the timebar may be

incorrect and (front panel) time indicator may run at the wrongDismiss You are not a member ofthe this wiki.

Therefore it is not possible to copy a .ts le onto the Humax disk without its associated .hre le. It is now possible (using the utility ts2hrw in version 1.09) to create hre les using just the ts les (with some dummy information). See here for some details of the hre le format. Warning Do not allow Windows to "Initialise" the disk in disk/device manager. The disk should not appear under "My Computer". If this is done accidentally use the "-p" option to HumaxCheck to x the partition table. Important The usual disclaimers and copyright applies, the author, poster, and host sites of this program hold no responsibility what so ever. Since this program is able to write to the 9200T hard disk there is a slim possibility that some as yet unforeseen form of corruption could cause the program to make the disk unreadable - use it very much at your own risk. Installation/Usage See README.txt in the downloaded archive.
