Was the message "Diskless Mode"? This would indicate a failed Drive if you have Full System Reset you box with no change

Try a Planner rebuild:

For Sky Plus HD boxes (DRX890/DRX895) with the latest software try the following instructions:
• Press SERVICES on your Sky remote control
• Go to Help
• Select Sky+ Rebuild
• Press SELECT (this will start the rebuild)

If the above does not work try the following (Note: the first 5 steps are better done whilst looking at the remote control as the feedback on screen can be confusing):
• Press SERVICES on your Sky remote control
• Press 0 (very old boxes may need you to press 4 instead)
• Press 0
• Press 1
• Press SELECT (You should now be in the hidden menu)
• Press 7 (Sky+ Rebuild)
• Press SELECT (An on-screen message will be displayed)
• Press SELECT (this will start the rebuild)

 

The above and so much more can be found in my Sky Plus F⋅A⋅Q

You'll need a replacement DRX890 or DRX895 (bigger HDD)

 

You should find secondhand boxes online from places like eBay etc...

Sky would no doubt do you a good deal to upgrade to Sky Q, if that's an option for you.
