Help!

[Aztecs]

I sincerely apologize if this is in the wrong area (I know there is an esata topic but not many recent posts).

Here's my problem. I have had the seagate esata connection working great since September.

Just now we went to watch a recorded show and as I hit play...it went right to "do you want to delete now". I then tried the same on other programs and it did the same each time.

I went into a panic and just rebooted the dvr. It went through it's whole process and then said it did a "winter update". Then....

All my programs are gone...it's completely clean.

What do I do? Are my programs safe on the external?

Help...I'm desparate and don't want to do something I'll regret before asking you guys for help.

What version of a reboot did you do ? Red Button Reset ?

Try the menu reset, see if that helps, it may, but it may not also.

Menu > Set Up > System Setup > Reset > ReStart Rec. > Check yellow box with the dash button.

I have not seen this happen for a long time now.

btw, you could have put this in the ESATA thread you mentioned and that thread would have moved back to the top of the page again. :

I tried the above and some advice from another forum...and nothing worked. After 90 minutes and figuring it was all over...I searched out the original set-up and and figured why not go through the steps.

I told my wife I figured it was a 1 in 10 shot.

IT WORKED! EVERYTHING CAME RIGHT BACK TO WHERE IT WAS.

Thanks for posting and trying to help...it was appreciated.

Sounds like you did an initial set up, shows the option for what type of dish (3-5 lnb) .

Anyways, I'm glad you were able to get it figured out
