I'm assuming you've already replaced the hard drive, since it will
continue to kill data when mounted read/write in it's current state.

You can rebuild all your seek-tables using this:

for I in *.mpg *.nuv ; do mythcommflag --rebuild --file $I ; done

Just run it in each video directory. This assumes you run bash as
your shell, if not just run "bash" first, run this command, then type
exit to run under your preferred shell. bash is the default on most
Linux distributions.
