HHD failure or W7MC flaking out then recovers
PC specs in sig. PC is only connected to net to DL latest TV guide listings then
Disconnected from net.
I use this PC as a TV DVR have about 300 recorded programs on the H HDD total recorded programs is over 1100.
This 2TB H drive is a western black edition purchased as preowned refurbished I also have the 1TB version both used well over 5 years as a daily record/watch/delete storage drive no problems w/ either until recently.
I look at the # of recorded programs and see 800 well looks like the H drive disappeared again (this has happened 2 previous times) so I do my best known fix to restore to earlier time then the H reappears alone w/ the 300 recorded programs.
The drive is used everyday (almost) and old however I have a lot of excellent recorded programs that I'd like to watch.
1.How can I test this drive?
2.Should I be transferring Hs content to another drive soon to ensure saving?
3.The PC is 2.0USB so transferring w/ a external HDD will take a few days for almost 2TB of recorded programs correct?
I could dissconnect another achieved drive and use it's SATA port and have intrenal drive.
Thanks STB
