My mother's NextPVR had a malfunction.  Not sure what she was doing to make it happen.  Just happy we have remote access just for these purposes.  Perhaps someone can assist me in this.
Must appreciated.

Thank you,
Bruce

It looks like the server crashed. Do you forces a server reboot? Something cause an EPG update to fail and the server restarted with corrupt database

Maybe some information from windows Event viewer would help.

Bad news it seems

The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.

There were several unplanned server restarts on the 11th but some earlier too, nothing about NextPVR in there so I'd start with the hardware

Would you say the hard drive should be replaced or do a disk scan?

[mvallevand]

Depends on how far the remote access is since disks are cheap and how good your backups are. It doesn't feel like a filesystem error, but I guess you can see if you can map out the bad block(s) during the scan.

Regardless, I would backup anything important on the drive sooner than later.

I wouldn't risk NOT replacing it. It is only going to get worse from now on.

If it isn't to far gone you can use something like clonezilla to copy the contents of the drive to a new one. Assuming this is the boot drive (drive 0 usually is), if you copy it you most likely wouldn't need to reinstall the OS or any of the software. However as mvallevand said back up what you or she does not want to loose before you do anything and before it is too late. nd
