When I start mythfrontend, I get all these recordings that are greyed out and have an X next to them. I was going through the recordings and choosing "delete and rerecord", but then I thought I *might* be able to recover the recordings from the drive. If I am able to recover the recordings, what would happen if I put them into a valid storage group (that works) on another disk in the same system. Will they show up correctly?


Not if you've told myth to delete them they wont. But if you leave
them alone, retrieve the files, and put them in a different storage
group folder on the working drive, myth should be able to find them
just fine.
