   Note: You will receive an error message if there are any background processes still running. Open Windows Task Manager > Details tab and end anything starting with CMS, CODEC, Geo, GV, or Vlsvr before trying again.

6. Check "Reserve Never-Recycle Flag" only if you have "Never Recycle" events marked in the GV-DVR/NVR/VMS
   Optionally enable check box for Rebuild all information if there are damaged files to repair.
   Note: Leave the Rebuild all information option unchecked if you want the repair to go faster.
   To begin the repair:
   Select Use Default Path if you see your recording drives listed under Default Path. Otherwise click Search Hard disk
