I am attempting to both hack and add capacity to my HD Tivo, per earlier suggestions in this group. I have successfully backed up the factory drive, and am...
Ok, I want to let my tivo to update. I have upgradesoftware=false in my bootpage command. Do I change it to "true" or just remove it all -together? Thx dan...
mfsbackup does not make an exact copy, but dd does. So you got 2nd 400GB disk from weaknees already partitioned and set up? If that's the case, you may need...
Yes, my new drive from Weaknees was already partitioned and setup. If I redo the factory Tivo drive backup using dd to get an exact copy, can I then add the...
... I personally don't know. Weaknees can probably answer that for you. Maybe someone else here knows. ... I don't know this one either. ... Well, I can say...
Jab, After you DD'd your original drive back to the new 250GB put it into the TiVo and validate that it is working with that one drive. Than attach only your...

Peter, Thanks. That is exactly what I tried, but something went badly wrong along the way. The DD of the original drive to the new 250GB drive went smoothly...
Jab, are you sure that the jumper is set correctly (master only for the original drive and for testing the DD copy)? Are you sure you did not accidently copy...
Are you sure you have returned the drive jumpers to master when trying the drives ? Leaving them in slave or cable select can cause the problems you listed. ...
My original Western Digital drive came set to cable select. I have returned both the factory and the copied drives to cable select when testing them in the...
I now KNOW what happened, but I can't explain it. Both the original and the copied drives are now "married" to the Weaknees 400GB drive! Either one boots as...
Are you saying that you added the 400GB drive to your original drive before you tried to copy it to another drive for hacking? If that's the case, then I'm...
No. This is the sequence: 1 Mfsbackup of original 250GB to a new 250GB drive. 2 Stash the original drive in a box. Use new drive in Tivo. 3 Add a Weaknees...
Jab, There is only 2 ways this could have happened (IMHO): Either you put in your TiVo (and booted) your original drive with the new 400GB drive (or the new...
Ok I made a backup of the orignal unhacked updated to ver f harddrive from the orignal HDTivo. I then did a restore to the new HDTivo harddrive. I stuck it...
So, I had version "F" in my software queue, and I realized I had not protected myself against indiscriminant activation of upgrades. As a result, I then went...
I do not think 'F' upgrade would help you in this situation (but I might be wrong). I would instead do a "CLEAR PROGRAM DATA & TO DO LIST" (do not do clear and...
Peter - Thanks for the suggestion! I actually tried that soon after it manifested itself and had no luck. I've rebooted a bunch, too. The only thing I have not...
Peter, Thanks for your help. I also feel strongly about having a backup, which is why I bought an extra 250GB drive for backup BEFORE doing the Weaknees...
