W7MC all recorded TV unplayable



Windows 7 media center all of my recorded TV thumbnails lost the image now only text is displayed like title name and synopsis.



None of the recorded TV shows will play all I see is the status circle continue to spin.



I’ve tried a few restore points still won’t play, the last time I tried the restore point it just stays at shutting down and it never shuts down so I physically shut down then restart at desktop message reads restore point was succsessfull must restart.

when I start MC the recorded TV thumbnails reappear then start to dissappear.

next thing that happens is MC rereconizes the silicon dust HR tuner that I unplugged and want to set it up so I set it up dreadfully long process, back to desktop PC wants to restart again it will just stay at shutting down and never actualley shut down untill I phsyically hold the on/off button down.


Please Any advice

update after trying to play some older recorded TV some of the thumbnails images have reappeared and actualley play.

I have 4 storage HDD and a C:/ all are reconized in my computer.

when I use western digital SMART to diagianoise the drives the E:/ is'nt even listed
the E:/ is the daily record watch delete drive and it's these TN that don't play.
has this E:/ failed it's a new drive to my sys.

I would expect that drive has corrupted or failed in some way.
