Curious why I am getting this? Error: 0x8007003B
This happens when I try to upload a recording (created by Channels) into the Import / TV folder or any folder. I was able upload 2 recordings the other day no problems. I can also download the recording no problem from the DVR to my Windows machine. If I shut down the Pi and try to connect the drive to my PC so I can load it that way the PC doesn't see the drive.
Can you clarify exactly what you are trying to copy and from where to where exactly? I’m having trouble following you.
Tried to copy/paste and drag/drop a TV show recording created by the CDVR from a Documents folder (tried from the Desktop also) on my windows PC to several different folders in the CDVR HDD media/DVR folder. This was while the CDVR was connected to the Pi and of course it was over the network connection. It worked fine just 2 days ago.
In other words I have some old recordings from an old CDVR setup that I want to load onto the CDVR drive. Copy/Paste used to work.
0x8007003B seems to be some sort of size limitation issue. I confirmed this by creating a 1 minute recording with CDVR, then copy/paste from CDVR to my PC over the network, then copy/paste back from the PC to the CDVR with no issues.
Note I can copy/paste any recording size from the CDVR to my PC over the network connection with no problems.
Any thoughts here??
This is some kind of windows samba bug. We are aware of it but don't have a fix yet.
What do you see when you plug the drive into the windows usb directly
I have 2 drives configured, neither show up in Windows Explorer. I can however see it in “MiniTool Partition Wizard”.
What about in the windows disk manager? Can you screenshot that
Yes it shows up in the Windows native disk management as well. Just not showing up in Windows Explorer which means I cannot interact with it.
What does it show?
Maybe you can assign a drive letter? How to mount drive on Windows 10 | Windows Central
No drive letter assigned, so I assigned one and it showed up. Was also able to dump a recording into it.
I would like to completely wipe my backup drive and re-image. What do you suggest? Looks like I have some garbage.
To be clear, I know how to re-image but I need to know the best way to wipe the drive
That is not garbage, it is completely normal. Those other partitions are for the Pi image to function and do auto updates.
Ok. Thanks. Couple looked redundant.
The image uses a sophisticated dual boot system for upgrades. The update is installed to secondary partitions, then it attempts to boot into the upgrade, so in case it fails it can fall back to the original working partition. That's why there's atleast two of each.
Interesting. I rebooted this drive after an upgrade a few weeks ago and it never came back online so apparently the dual system is not full proof. I was only using this drive for the OS, and another much larger drive for the files / recording (which also had an OS image). The OS was pointed here and the database at the big drive.
Two drives attached with the OS image is not supported. It will get confused by 4 copies of the system partitions.
Yup, it definitely coughed up a hairball! 
That setup wasn't really what I was trying to accomplish anyway. I really wanted a way to avoid the complete loss of settings and recordings if the drive completely failed. Now 2x a day I have a mirror program running that grabs the latest database files and the latest recordings and dumps them on to my PC. When I delete them from the CDVR they get deleted from my PC.
