[QUOTE="johnscotty, post: 811638, member: 176519"] Nothing is every simple with computers (and the software in particular). But actually it turned out sort of easy once I knew how (famous last words). Started with the Humax HDD on the pc, installed Ext2fsd but all I got were the various partitions with the volume size - no file details at all. Thats when I moved on the recovery software with R-Linux. But didn't get round to doing recover. That sofware gave me the files and the delete file I needed to delete. But as recovery software it wouldn't let me do that. Then went on to Diskinternals, Linux reader. Again this featured all and sundry but the delete option wouldn't work - that option was protected. It gave me options for permission but then on the changes it said no. Went to Knoppix as that seemed to suggest all manner of options. Got there yes I could read all the files but again delete was not in the repertoir. More reading and picked up a hint that the original EXt2fsd actually worked within windows explorer and not its own window. A few clicks on its dedicated menu and it seemed to give some activation options. One featured control panel so thought I'd tick enable and restart. On restart, opened explorer and all files were revealed including the delete folder I had been after. Pressed delete and all was gone (I did back it up just in case). HDD back in the Humax, fired it up (well the other HDD I had put in was running rather hot (fried eggs anyone! - must check the fan is working). And that's it - the box booted without deleting any further files and there is still 77 of the programs there (yes I lost a few (and I might go back to see if I can reciover some with the other software but thats for the weekend). Thanks for your help and comments. Cheers John [/QUOTE]
