xtv drive copy utility doesn't tell me anything.
Which version did you install?
Click the icon top left and select "about".

Use the latest version, 1.2.0.8.
However, if your disk is not being recognised it sounds very much like Darwin might have been deployed to your box. This causes very similar symptoms.

Darwin gives you the "Network" option under setup, and prompts with the open source software licence acceptance screen on first boot.
Also, looking at the disk, Darwin uses recording directories beginning with "S" and a number. For example "S123". No directories starting "S" and you have not received Darwin yet.

If you have not received Darwin, then you can still backup and restore your disk with Copy+. Does not matter that the replacement box may/may not have Darwin, as Copy+ will copy the pre-Darwin disk and then the box will think it is an old disk (if it has Darwin) and convert it to the new Darwin format.
The only exception would be if the replacement box is a DRX895 1TB box (with 1.5TB drive installed). But that is unlikely as it should be a direct like for like swap with your current box (presumably Amstrad DRX890).

I may have misread your original post - Sorry.
Are you saying you can not see the recordings in Copy+ when you select your disk as source? Or have you not tried that yet?



Could you please explain waht you mean by "The only exception would be if the replacement box is a DRX895 1TB box ". I have a DRX 895 (main)and a DRX 890 (multiroom) and find that my old recordings made on the DRX890 will play on the 890 if I use the card from the 895, but wilol not play on the 895 whatever I may do with card swapping.
