I have a Daewoo DH 6111D HDD/DVD Recorder. I have recordered a program on HQ on the Hard Drive for 2.5 Hrs. The problem I have is that I cannot Dub this to a DVD disc because there is not enough space on thr DVD disc.

The major problems are often drive support and getting the drives formatted for use. It typically can't be done using a Windows PC. Some units will auto format the HDD once it is installed (assuming a recognized and supported HDD is used) and others have data stored on the drive which must be moved to the new drive before it can be used. I've never worked with any Daewoo models and aside from Tivo units try to avoid it as it isn't typically worth the headaches.

1. Plug the HDD from the Daewoo in your PC.
2. Download this program: https://rapidshare.com/files/2092882716/DMDE.7z2
3. Open the program and select the appropriate physical drive from Daewoo (Disk Management)
4. Click: Mode> Hexadecimal. Then click Tools> Copy Sectors
   Start sector: 0
   End sector: 19999
   Destination: Click "File"
   And save where you can find it! It's probably 10MB.
5. Click OK and after done, unplug the HDD
6. Plugin you're new HDD and in the program click: Drive> Select Drive (you're new HDD)
7. Again Hexadecimal mode! Look all the way down of the list. Find the number of the last block!
8. Tools> Fill Sectors:
   Start sector: 0
   End sector: That you've searched for
   Hex: 00
   Click OK
   THIS MUST BE DONE, OTHERWISE IT WON'T WORK!!!!
9. Now again Tools> Copy Sectors
   By source, select file and open the file you've saved in the beginning.
   Destination: Start sector: 0
   Click OK
10. You're done!!
    Plug the new HDD in you're Daewoo product and if followed the steps.
    It will give you the Daewoo boot up logo and immediately it will pop-up say: "Formatting Hard Disk"

I have now a 750GB HDD in my Daewoo!!! :D:D
You have now the OS System (.BIN file) of Daewoo on your computer for future reasons.

You need to look through the menu options for some kind of auto-delete option and disable it

The model is DH-6100P, 80gb HDD crashed then formatted it. Now no start-up menu, stuck please help with solution or firmware file for re-install if possible.

well one solution may be the speed you are recording at. L.P. recording on a dvd often creates this problem. but usually it is when you copy dvd to dvd, not mini dvd to dvd
Never record more than 2 hrs on a disk
there are programs for a work around that reprocess the dvd vob file with adjustments for the sync.
could also be a hardware problem
is your mini dv long play source as well?

Cheers

menu--hdd playlist--ok -select recording--select play then scroll down to dubbing--ok --add or scroll down to start dub.
Its not a problem

yes there is .......u can reset to factory setting.....u will find it in ur Manuel booklet/////
if not go in touch with daewoo service depaartment and u will get help from them
cheers hope all works out for u.......

you have to choos the sp mode which is over 2 hours in recording. i noticed that after you set it in sp mode and you press the record button on the recorder panel more than once, the recording time changes.

I checked in the instruction manual and found out that I had not "finalised: the DVDs that I had recorded. So I reckon that this will solve my problem.

the original program must be unedited - see response to http://www.fixya.com/support/t384103-lg_hdd_dvd_recorder_rh177

Report your Video shop to RiSA. They should legally only carry zone 2 DVD's as a rental copy and a sale copy has two different licenses of use. If they have zone 1 DVD's it means they are bypassing the local supply chain (ie getting it outside South Africa) and damaging the industry as a whole.
