This happens to my bedroom 612 on average every month or two. Sometimes it happens every day or two, but I attribute this to power glitches. Anyhow, this has been going on for two or three years and the disk has yet to fail completely.

Recommend backing up anything you want to keep to an EHD just in case your disk is indeed failing.

Your 612 got tired of waiting for FEARnet........

To test out the power glitch theory, you could use a UPS battery backup to feed your 612's power, if you haven't tried already.

I don't have a UPS. and the 612 must want FEARnet in it's guide pretty bad.

Here in Florida, power outages, brownouts and surges, oh my! I've got 3 inexpensive UPS feeding all my computer and A/V equpiment. It's a sanity savior.
