When I started recording a song, the following happened:
After 42 seconds the counter stopped and it was impossible
to stop the recorder. The harddisk was not working. The red
"record" light in each of the 6 channels was on and it was
not possible to turn it off. It was not possible to shut down
the system. The click was still clicking, even when I pressed
stop. At the end I had to power it off without doing a real
shutdown.

Repeating this procedure the next time it stopped at 1:20,
then again at 0:42, then at whatever.
I did another try with only 5 channels recorded simmultaneously
and it stopped after 2:40; perhaps the unit cannot manage the
high I/O when recording 6 tracks? That would be a shame, as
this was the only reason why I bought this thing.

Does anybody have an idea what could have happened here.
Of course I will also talk to my dealer, but that is not
possible before end of next week. I don't think I can stand
the pain for so long ;-) Any ideas??? Formatting the harddisk?

First guess is that you have a bad hard drive. There are other
possibilities, but that's what I'd look at first.

Peace,
