Goodmans GPDR40 Hi, When I turn it on all it does is play a short turn and say data loading... then it seems to freeze at dat loading... any ideas? I have to reset to turn it off after a very very long time panthera

I have the same problem in that when you switch on it says "Data Loading" and nothing happens. My PC does not recognise the unit when I connect via USB. So I cannot delete corrupt files.

In order to restore system files back to the PVR, please perform the following:
1. If the system files have become corrupt or you have formatted the hard drive, please connect the PVR to your computer with the included USB cable.
2. Power on the PVR and choose Mass Storage when prompted. If you do not make a choice, Mass Storage is selected by default.
3. Double-click the 'My Computer' icon on your desktop or choose 'My Computer' from the 'Start' menu.
4. Open the 'Removable Disk' that corresponds to your PVR. There may be more than one depending on what other devices you have connected.
5. Copy all of the folders and their files (AUDIO, FRAME, MUSIC, PHOTO, PVRDATA, VIDEO) to the root directory of the PVR.
6. Click on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon on the right hand corner of your task bar by the clock and disconnect the PVR.
7. Turn the PVR off and then power back on.
Your PVR is now restored and ready for normal operation. You may delete this file 'README.TXT' from the PVR drive.

1. you need to install the pc software 2. you need to connect the system to your pc via the usb cable 3. switch the system on - it should be seen as a mass storage. 4. Start PVR Console and run a disk checkup - this should run without error - run this twice. 5. Try the unit now - does it work? 6. if you still have problems you can replace the files in pvr data with the following:- http://mustek.com/product_resources/drivers/pvr-upgrades/pvrh140-datafiles/pvr-h140_restore_files.zip good luck

14th August 2007 I've heard of this problem. The operationg system or part of it is on the hard drive so if something happens to the data the unit gets stuck at the opening window. A suggestion I've read about is to open the unit and try and reconnect the ribbon cable to the drive, it's a push on job apparently. Of course, this will invalidate your guarantee AND may not solve the problem. I've not done it myself so can't give any firsthand advice. Regards

Goodmans GPDR40 problem

I had the same problem like everybody else since 2005 . GOODMANS GPDR40 X-Pro personal Media Centre. After Initialise the screen freezes - MASS STORAGE
DIRECT PRINT.
I have suspected that was the battery at fault or something to do with the power.
Why?.Because i have managed to let the Goodmans work, but only for a long time when
connected to the main adaptor.
I use it to record Video from sky,Or to use the unit as a storage drive.
Here are the steps to regain possession of the Unit.
First discharge the unit by leaving the screen on when in direct print mode,
(Move the cursor down to access this mode, normally it does this automatically.)
Make sure the screen display stays on in order to help the discharging of the battery.
Having the screen on will not switch the unit off until the battery is flat.
To have the screen on press the top button again if the display revert to a blank screen.
Once the unit is discarged the the unit will turn itself off.
Now we can connect the power lead to the unit and start the unit once more.
It normally last a couple of hours or more,but it will stop again eventually.
My suspicion is that the battery charger control is not working right and
after a period of time, may be a year ore less, will cause this problem
to all these units.
I hope it works for you too, even if not as before.

Ciao a tutti!
