The MBR, system and swap partitions are fine. What do I do? Can I run chkdsk on it if it's mounted natively with 'Ext2 Installable File System for Windows'? Are there any other tools that can repair the files and mark bad sectors as not for use so they can be ignored and the other ones used (temporarily). I will then clone the drive to another non-failing one and repair the storage partition again somehow so it uses all the sectors on the non-faulty disk. It seems like a major mission, but it would be nice to resurrect this PVR, it was costly! There's no guides on the net as it's not a popular one, and is hard-drive dependent, not ROM-dependent for the system. I've tried mounting them with the above drivers in read-only mode, the drives and files can be seen OK (storage space partition reports nothing in it). Any help appreciated, I've done a fair few hours' research on this so far already and no answers save going into Linux from a live CD and using the FSCK command. I'm not comfortable with this right now, although I'm going to learn Linux as it's a good idea. I'd rather be recording TV whilst I take the hours and hours to learn it though!

It clearly states that it provides "Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista with full access to Linux Ext2 volumes (read access and write access)." I use this to write to my ext3 filesystem and have yet to run into any serious problems. However, I don't spend much time in Windows, and so I haven't really used it enough to recommend it as safe. @Jj

No. MacOS uses HFS+ not Ext2/3.
