HDD Corrupt I have an RD-XS34, and had some content recorder in the HDD. When I was deleting one of the titles, I accidentaly pushed the power button, turning off the device. Next thing I see is an alert window saying that the data is corrupt and I should reformat the disc. I tried turning off the device to reset, but it wont turn off. Tried pushig the play button, nothing. Tried recording a new program but got a message saying that there is no space in the HDD. when pressing the content menu I get the "corrupt data" message again. Since reformatting the disc will mean losing all the recorded contents, I want to know if there is another alternative to solving this.

I have the RD-XS34SC model and recently had this data corruption problem also. Could you please let me know what firmware upgrade exactly you mean and where to find it as it's gone now from Toshiba's website. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Reg, I have an ISO, the name is RDXS34V1-2.iso, and I think this is the firmware I installed, but it's been 4 years so I don't recall exactly. Anyhow here's the file I have:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5913... Best of luck with it! The front display clock is now useless, since Toshiba locked out manual clock setup, but TV Guide has gone kaput. Still use it as a backup DVD player tho.

Thanks Eric, but can you please tell me what this firmware was supposed to do and if it's good for any RDXS34 version like 34SC, 34SU, etc. as there was another firmware upgrade that was supposed to allow for clock manual setting and yours apparently did the opposite. I want to be sure I don't do any worse to the unit than already has been done. How did all your shows play again after and did they all reappear in the content menu once again? Thanks again.

Hey Eric. It's been a few months now and you haven't responded. Please let me know. Thanks. Hey Eric. It's been a few months now and you haven't responded. Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Reg. I can't recall if there was any documentation with the firmware. But the Canadian site for Toshiba has a firmware download, might work for you.http://support.toshiba.ca/support/ceg/ce... I am not able to set the clock on my unit, it's still locked to the dead TV Guide service. However all my recorded shows appeared again in the content menu, and seem to play back OK. Also able to use the DVD recorder, Firewire input, dvd playback, etc. No problems. Hi Reg. I can't recall if there was any documentation with the firmware.

Hi Eric. That link you gave is for allowing manual resetting of the clock. Did you try this upgrade? it's the only one shown on the Toshiba Canada site. Is this the one you used before? Hi Eric.
