I’m not quite sure what I did wrong. But I can see my recordings after doing a restore, however they will not play. Plus I can not record. Any clues to what may be wrong? I pulled the drive from the old system and put it in an external case. It is hooked up via USB 3.0. Here is the log from trying to record Walking Dead:

Is d:\dvr the correct location for where your recordings are? If not, uncheck the DVR checkbox and fix the path.
Yes it is correct. Went upstairs to check system and noticed the D: drive didn’t show up. Restarted the external drive and all is working again. Thanks!
