CCTV DVR Hard Drive Recovery Recover Deleted Erased CCTV or DVR Videos

1) reset dvr to default
2) update firmware / your current firmware / software of dvr might be corrupted

try other usb port, or other computer and see whether the hdd is detected. If still not, try to go to device manager ( http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000833.htm ), and then assign a drive letter to the hdd. After that, try to access it from Computer, if not able to access it, format it (use quick format) and then use asoftech data recovery program to recover your files.

Hi, in my opinion1) rebuild your music album by music studio, 2)rebuild music database structure if first step not solve. using samsung yh-925 utility download from http://www.samsung.com/us/support/download/supportDown.do?model_nm=YH-925GS&mType=SW&vType=L&disp_nm=YH-925GS 3) update your device firmware if two steps fail.

The internal power supply to the HDD is often suspect in these units. Check you have power on the internal plug to the HDD from the circuit board. if you do not Try fitting an external HDD power supply (£15) this cured my unit which had a similar fault.
Hope this helps - good luck.

The manual says that it can be replaced with almost any standard IDE drive but mine has a Seagate 160GB drive in it so may want to stick with original equipment. Other than tha, any drive SHOULD work.

I have the same problem. I believe this unit is a lemon by Samsung. I was so exhausted I went to Hard drive erase. After I erased the HD, now it will not record or go into recode mode. I think all it good for now is just to view the monitor. When I call Samsung they dont have a clue what a DVR is. I never seen a company so illerate. They cant even tell me where I can send it for repair.
