DO NO TRY TO FIX THE PARTITION WITH THIS COMMAND Hello, here is what had happened: I googled and asked to a friend of mine how knows Linux, for a equivalent command to CHKDKS, and recommendations, he told me to use FSCK.EXT3, I tried automatic parameter, but the command return a error said that the drive had too much problem and I need use manual, so I give a parameter for auto-answer YES to every question, I don’t remember now the parameter, well it had been more than 7 hours fixing, it never finish, and I could not wait any more, so I break the process, I could see that in the last hours it was writing very much recovered data to a folder called lost+found, so, even I am not a Linux person, I think even if I would wait until finish, I am almost sure the data was going to be unusable or too hard to use, like happen with *.chk files that CHKDSK does, so please if it happen to you, DO NO TRY TO FIX THE PARTITION WITH THIS COMMAND, but I did something did worked for me, by that moment I had no got the LEO reply. BTW, thanks so much LEO for reply I still had not tried the program because the DVR is working and is little hard to stop it because the boss get a little nervous, but I will try it as soon as I can, and I am almost sure it will work, thanks again. Then what I did was: - Before I try to fix the partition I copied the folder containing date I needed to check, to the PC hard drive, using a mini-Linux from Hiren's BootCD, (for doing it you will need to mount source and destination partitions, then copy and paste) - Using a partition manager included in the mini-Linux from Hiren's BootCD, I just formatted the DVR’s hard drive EXT3 and SWAP partitions (keeping EXT3 and SWAP formats) - Then I copied back the data to the DVR’s hard drive. - “et voilà” now the DVR is working and I could see and download the videos I needed Hope it help Regards P.D. sorry not good English is not my mother language

Hello, I got a power interruption, UPS fails, and now my (avtech eagleeyes 4CH H.264 DVR (KPD674B-B)) reboots automatically (loop) in the initialization process, I thinks when it try to mount the hard drive partition, if I unplugged the hard drive it doesn´t reboots, I plugged the hard drive in a PC and it is working OK, it have a ext3 partition, with contain files like: /20110603/video/1/1.stream, in my case I think that is a logical problem could be fixed by doing a chkdsk linux´s equivalent, but I am not a linux person, and I am worry about losing some videos I need, like you said, also in avtech FAQs said, it is not possible open videos in a PC, only in DVR, but it doesn´t startup, what could I do? do you think if I copy out the data I need to another hard drive or clone it, in case the check disk process fails and I lose data, could I copy back the files in the disk to try recover?, I don´t know, sure not way to a exporting videos? any other ideas please help Thanks for what you could help Regards
