It's a standard size (3.5"?) disk out of a Humax 9150T which I seem to remember has a proprietary format and is Western Digital WD1600AVVS HDD 160GB. I think the AVVS nomenclature means that it is specially for video security systems or something like that. Peter.

Hi, An idea of which Humax model might have been useful. My Humax Foxsat HDR had a fairly conventional partition table and layout for a linux box. The notes from when I upgraded 300G to 1.5TB said the original was partitioned as follows: /dev/sdb1 2G ext3 /reserve.info 745920 bytes Recording reservation list. /dev/sdb2 99M ext3 /fsatepg/epg.dat 4413676 bytes Program guide data. /dev/sdb3 267G ext3 /Movie/ empty /Video/ Video streams /dev/sdb4 25G ext3 /Music/ empty /Photo/ empty I think you need to add the sparse_super and large_file flags when creating the filesystems but otherwise it was standard. Maybe the later models have a reserved boot space that needs to be skipped ?

If someone has a SATA connection device?? I'll be interested to see if there is any way you guys can devise to read it.
