recording problem

[clifford 0]

hi,ive got a swann cctv system which ive recently replaced with a new hard drive as old one died.The problem is it will record for a short while,maybe 4gb,then just stops.When this happens i can't view recorded items.Also,the storage and free capacity on the system says zero,but if i restart it comes up with correct amount and i can then record for a short while until it does it again.

Ive formatted and reset but still get the same problems

Check for:

 

1. Hard drive compatibility

2. Damaged SATA cable

3. Bad sectors on hard drive
