I had a Samsung SR4180 D.TV tivo that I had taken the factory 80 gig H. D. out of and replaced it with a new Maxtor 200 gig H.D.that I had weaknees format as the new primary drive, eventually the dial in quit working so I pulled the drive out and put it into another Samsung Sr 4080 I had sitting around when I started it up I kept getting a hardware problem notice so I went into the system menu & told it to do a clear & delete everything ,so a few min's after it started the process I just happened to glance at my primary active unit and noticed that the red light on it was blinking just like the one I was trying to clear & it dawned on me that I had forgot to block off the primary unit before I did the setup so it was also doing the delete & clear process and I tried to use the sending unit to stop it but the primary unit wouldn't respond to the sending units commands so I unplugged the unit,but when it was plugged back in after a few min's as soon as it powered up it went right back to the clear & delete process so I unplugged it again & left it unplugged overnight thinking maybe unplugging it longer would stop the process, but that didn't work either so I have unplugged it again and have left it upluged, but I need to know how do I get it to stop the clear & delete process ? ,like I said this is my primary & only active unit and the H.D. is almost full so I don't want to lose my programs so is there any way of stopping the clear & delete process once it starts ? or am I going to have to put the H.D. into my computer and download the programs to save them ?
