    My 5080 froze while playing back, I attempted to reboot (and tried the various suggestions I found here, like wait over night and try again) It doesn't get past "Please Wait" screen. It sounds like a bad HD from what I have read. I removed the drive and put it in a PC and ran powermax diagnostics including the burn-in test and it passed all tests. So is it possible it is a bad HD even though it passed all of the tests ? The only thing it is doing differently since I re-installed it is about every 12 seconds the "please wait" screen flashes like it is trying to continue but doesn't.

      It is possible for the physical HD to be good while the data on the disk is bad. I am assuming if you did a full burn-in test, that it scragged the data currently on the disk?

      I have seen this behavior when the disk is full. of course, to delete something you have to boot, and you cannot boot if it does this.

      Have you re-initialized the disc and reinstalled the Replay software (also explained on this site) and see if that helps?

        How do you reinstall Replay software?  I have looked through this site and nothing is jumping out at me.
