About this deal
The disk failed again a while later and I did not get round to doing anything about it until recently, when I bought a 2TB Seagate Pipeline and popped it in.

I have had my HDR-T2 for quite a while and have sent it back for disk replacement once already, which they did for disk cost and postage and in short time frame.
MartinLiddle Good thought - I will post more details from (paper) disk label when I open box up again after the weekend as I am away until next week.
