Pioner dvr9/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Don't expect your DVR to work flawlessly once you recover the contents and replace the drive (though mine did). This is a last-resort tutorial! You may never be able to get your DVR to recognize this harddrive again. So, none of the above worked? I will introduce a procedure to recover the contents of the drive. Once this is done, try doing a low-level TVGOS reset to clear possible corruption:įor more reading, see here and here. The recorder will reboot, and you'll need to reset the clock, the MN speeds, and other initial options. Try the hardware reset: hold down the stop button (under the disc tray) and press the power button. Once “Hi-Speed Copy” appears on screen, you can press “Stop” (then press “Display” to watch the copying process). Insert a blank DVD-RW (VR mode) and simply press “One Touch Copy” when playing a title. you still can watch & copy all titles! To navigate between titles, press “Play” to start playing a title, then use the “Prev”/“Next” buttons or the numbers to enter the title number you want to jump to (as instructed in the manual). The “Disc Navigator” is inaccessible but the “Play” button should be working, i.e. You should be able to copy all the files to DVD-RWs. ![]() There are varying stages of corruption and I insist you try the following solutions before resorting to my tools: 1. Recovery of a 160GB drive took approximately 10 hours to extract the raw medial files and 10 hours of manual labor to combine. I have created a few Python scripts to extract the video contents of the drive and helper tools to re-assemble the contents but I will warn you, it is time intensive and not a “1-click” solution. ![]() My understanding is that this will format the drive and the existing media will be destroyed. If you've done this, it is probably too late. First off, do not re-initialize the drive. You have a failed/corrupted Pioneer Harddrive and you want to recover the contents of the drive (ie, the videos). I personally had this happen to me with a Pioneer DVR-633H and the this post may or may not be helpful if you do not have that system. Common errors indicating drive corruption include “HDD ERR”, “HDD Error”, “HD ERR”, etc. There are many forums discussing how to improve stability but, again, if you've found this post then it is likely already too late for those discussions. If you've found this post then you're likely already aware of the failure-prone nature of Pioneer DVR systems. ![]()
