I just downloaded +Extract, and, like charper1000, I can't get +Extract to see my Sky+ HD hard drive.
I've removed my hard drive from the Sky box and have put it in a newly-purchased hard drive "caddy," connected to my PC with a USB cable.
Before trying +Extract I used Copy+ to copy selected programmes to my my PC. Copy+ had no problem seeing the Sky hard drive, and no problem copying the programmes to my internal hard drive.
So now I'd love to extract the free-to-air programmes. I installed the latest version of +Extract, but it just doesn't see the Sky hard drive (H:/).
I can see the H drive in "My computer." I've also gone to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management. When I go to Storage > Disk Management I can see the H drive there, along with the C, E, and F.
+Extract does see the C, E, and F drives --- but with a big red X next to each of them. It just doesn't see the H drive.
I notice, for what it's wroth, that the Sky drive (H) is FAT32, and the other three are NTFS. I'm running Windows XP Pro with the latest service pack applied.
Here's a screen shot of the control panel, in the hope that it will be helpful:
I don't relish the prospect of trying to get my failed Sky+ HD box fixed, and then trying to put the hard drive back (this one, or a new one) to then copy the programmes to DVD. It would be so much better if the +Extract programme worked.
All it needs to do is see the Sky hard drive. So near, yet so far.
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Craig
