Good Morning

Have had my solo se 2 box for 18months occasionally I found that a recording I had set up hadn't recorded on to it's internal 320gb hard drive.
Usually fixed by initializing the hard drive or very rarely mounting the hard drive.

At the weekend after a failed recording initializing and mounting failed and the I tried a filesystem check. The following message appears:

Error: filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with n alternative superblock: e2fsck-b8193 device

Initialisation gives the warning had trouble writing out superblocks.

I put a usb flash drive in to the front of the box and I was able to record.

Otherwise the box is fine and whilst not a technophobe I'm keen not to mess too much with it.

Is the internal hard drive easy to get back as the HDD without me having to flash / uninstall anything etc?

Thanks in advance

Im thinking the hard drive has a hardware issue. Stick it in a PC delete all partitions if any and format it to fat32. Pop it back on the box and try again.
