Just wanted to post this since I have not seen it before.

When I turned on my 622 last night the following error message was showing:

"Hard drive is corrupted and all content will have to be deleted in order to work properly. Sorry for the inconvenience."

The only option was a button to "Delete now?".

After a few choice expletive's I figured I should try powering off and re-booting.

Luckily everything came back to normal. I can only imagine if my wife had been home, she probably would have hit "delete now".

It could be a sign of impending harddrive or controller failure, symptoms can be intermittent until full failure.

Numerous users have reported this error message since a recent software upgrade. Not a problem with the HD.

I had this error. It is related to 365. There is a clear flaw with that.

But don't be surprised if you turn it on and the hard drive is empty.
