Cable recording problem

[donjuan400]

I am using a 1TB HDD with external power supply which records fine, until i set a timer recording. If a programme last an hour or so, the recording stops after about 50 minutes of recording, with the message disc full. There is over 600 GB of memory left so there is enough memory. Any help appreciated.

Have you 'initialised' the hard drive properly?

Menu
Setup
System
Storage

select the drive and red button to initialise I think

Thanks for the reply. I have it sorted now. The HDD was formatted fat32 which only allows a maximum storage amount for recording, aprox 50 minutes of HD. I fomatted to ntfs and all is working fine now.

Yeah - fat32 can't store more than a 4gb file each time
