PM Sent but not to a large disk version.

If anyone has 2.5.5a and large disk versions can you PM me?

There is no need for a "large disk version", really. All 2.5.5 and 2.5.5a backups will work with either the normal or the LAB48 kernel.

Just restore the image you have using the PTVUpgrade LBA48 CD (http://www.ptvupgrade.com/downloads/ptv-mfstools2-large-disk.iso), run copykern from the same CD and you will have a 'large' disk :)

Would much prefer folks link here:

http://www.ptvupgrade.com/support/bigdisk/index.html (link (http://www.ptvupgrade.com/support/bigdisk/index.html) )

instead of the ISO, itself; the ISO you've linked directly to is an older version, and we plan on updating the CD frequently.

I need to replace both hard drives in my tivo this weekend.

A link to a current image file set would be much appreciated.

Also, a link to a set of instructions - it is three years since i last did this.


One last thing - is it at all possible to copy old programs over to the new hard drives ?

thanks in advance

Actually, can I just check if people agree with me...?

The Symptoms: Unit is powered off, then I plug it in. Green LED comes on at the front. The fan starts up. The green LED on the HD starts flashing (I have the cover off), although I don't think the disk spins up.

Then nothing. No screens come up, no sounds, no response to remote (no LEDs flash on the unit, but the red LED on remote itself flashes).

Tried the HD in my PC, but I couldn't get the BIOS to detect it. I presume it should at least detect it OK, even though windows can't read it. Is that correct?

However, the BIOS may stop the MFS Tools CD from recognising it. In the latter case, setting that drive channel to 'None' in the BIOS may allow MFS Tools to see it.

bobbis
10-24-2004, 04:34 PM
Grrr...

Tried the HD in another PC and it was detected fine. So then I booted up with the MFS tools CD and tried copying the image onto the disk again - everything seemed to go ok.

But still same problem when back in the Tivo. Could someone tell me what happens if you boot a Tivo without a hard drive? Does anything happen or would it end up in the situation described above (green LED on, but nothing happens)?

EDIT: Forgot to say, I have checked all the power supply lines and they appear to have the correct voltages on.

EDIT2: Have just checked and there didn't seem to be any partitions on the (restored) tivo drive! I tried the mfsrestore again and the same problem - no partitions. What am I doing wrong? (I tried creating a linux partition on the disk and that worked fine, but was wiped when I did the restore again). Should the 2.5.5 image expand to 1031MB?

mike0151
10-24-2004, 08:12 PM
A restore will wipe out anything on the disk and try and restore itself.

The image will not do anything other than restore, depending on the switches/options you specify. By default, a backup will create a 30/40Gb image unless the image has problems like some items being stored on the second disk, which means that a divorce may not happen.

HTH

I realise that restoring an image will wipe everything and recreate all the partitions + contents as they were. However, the image I used (317MB version of v2.5.5) seemed to fail. i.e. after restoring it, there were no partitions on the disk.

I used the commandline "mfsrestore -zpi \mnt\dos\tivo.bak \dev\hdb" (that is definitely the correct path and disk!). Should that have worked?

I am stumped because the disk itself seems to work fine with a standard ext2 partition. Any ideas?

mike0151
10-25-2004, 02:45 PM
did you really use \ in the command? Linux uses / as the separator.

Would greatly appreciate learning the whereabouts of an image; my TiVo is stuck in a reboot cycle and I fear it might be the 160MB drive going west.

Um, is there a thread detailing the steps to install the image, does one follow Hinsdale to copy/expand to the new drive?

TIA.

(PS as the old Tivos get older and older this forum becomes more and like the friendly bunch of VW camper owners I used to be part of. Recycle and restore. Maybe we should flash our leds at other passing Tivos).

Same again, my Tivo has been locking up a lot lately and rebooting.
So I'm getting everything ready to take it into surgery, but just want to be ready incase I can't get a decent image from it.

I need to get a 4.x image and I'm in the U.S.

I'd post in another forum if they had an image begging thread there.

I saw the InstantCake stuff, but I'd rather not fork over the $20.

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks for you time.

I've been using TiVo for years, but am new to this forum and upgrading etc.

I've read all 19 pages of this thread but nobody has asked this....

My TiVo is dead. It won't get past the Power up screen. It has one 15Gb drive and one 30Gb drive and the 15Gb drive has died (PowerMax says so) but the 30Gb drive appears to be OK.

Is it possible to put an image onto the 30Gb drive to make this a single drive TiVo with only 30Gb? I really don't need any more storage than that and don't want to have to buy a new drive(s).

(a) where do I get such an image

(b) how do I install it

Many Thanks.

Have any of you guys tried running SpinRite software to revive your drives long enough where you can back them up and then download them to a new drive/drives. I am running SpinRite right now because my drive is failing but not dead and some people have not been able to boot up Tivo and then ran SpinRite and could watch Tivo using the same drives. I at that point would buy a new drive and download the data to it because if that drive is failing then it means that the drive is close to reaching it's threshold of the amount of good sectors that is allowed to call this hard drive as funcional and not a failed drive. That way you at least get to retain all of the recordings intact. Here is the link. http://www.grc.com/default.htm

It does say on this page (http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm) that it works with Tivo. YMMV.

Read the bloomin' thread - this happens umpteen times a week. This is the UK forum. We have one model of Tivo, and even that isn't sold any more. We don't have any Sonys, Philips, Humax or any of the models sold in the states. We have one model - our original Thomson V2.5.5. That's it. No series 2, no version 3, 4 or 5 of software. Just one.

Does anyone have a virgin 2.5.5 image with LBA kernal already applied?

I'm about to upgrade a TiVo to 2x200Gb and life would be so much simpler if I can restore a backup - I presume the standard restore utilities will work with an LBA48-enabled image?

EDIT: Image no longer required, I think I'll try using a standard 2.5.5 image and use copyKern from the PTV Upgrade CD to add the LBA48 kernal... should 127Mb swap be sufficient for a 400Gb TiVo, or go for more?

Time to make recovery plans. I'd appreciate the backup image and simple instructions to fire up a new disk. I've no problems hacking hardware and anything with Microsfot on the label, but may need some babysitting (or easy instructions) with the dreaded Linux....

The MD5sum is a checksum of a file. I want to check that my copy isn't corrupted (because it doesn't seem to be working). You can get a program to calculate the checksum here: http://shareware.pcmag.com/product.php%5Bid%5D45493%5Bcid%5D111%5BSiteID%5Dpcmag

Then run with the command line "md5sum -b tivo.bak" - substitute image name for tivo.bak.

A friend's 40Gb TiVo has died. He has a spare 120Gb disk, and I'm willing to have a stab.

Can anyone help me out with either a 120Gb image, or an image that I can expand to 120Gb?

TIA,

Nick

I need a backup of a UK tivo

Been debating upgrading my Thomson for ages. I'd just decided to go for it when drive corrupted. I ran powermax diagnostics, which confirmed that the drive is indeed knackered.

Would someone please please please PM me a backup ??


Thanks in advance

My TiVo is now stuck in the GS loop (see recent post) and I understand that the only option is a reload.

I have no backup (not dared open the case yet!) so I would be grateful if someone could PM me a backup location.

Thanks in advance.

Having looked at previous posts I get a md5sum value of cf0fa156c9cf5a0537caacf657843afd for my tivo.bak so I would be grateful for another image.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Following a recent power cut the Hard Disk in my PVR10UK is failing to work.

Could anyone help me out with an image, and can I use any Hard Disk as a replacement?

Many Thanks

Hi,

Just found I need to re-image my TiVo after a power cut, but can't find my original image file.

Can anyone help?

Does it make a difference that I have an upgraded 2 drive set-up?

Thanks.

Another one here :(

My TiVo is stuck on the GSOD loop, and the CD with the backup of this unit from 6 months ago has developed rot (last time I use cheap CDRs lol).

Please could someone PM me a link to the image as well, developing TiVo withdrawal symptoms already...

Thanks very much!!

Hi there, Is there any chance someone could also provide me with a link to an original tivo disk image. My 40gb drive just died a horrible death and Ive purchased a 120gb maxtor quickview as a replacement. Are there some simple directions available for us newbies? thanks in advance for your help.

Image (2.5.5 UKtivo) needed with hacks already built ( bash, ppp over serial, tivoftpd, tivoweb, Terbonet, etc) - Note. have a terbonet card but not fitted as yet.

Do not trust my harddisk to take a image before getting a new disk, therefore would like a copy of someones that is known to be OK.

PM if required.

I think most peoples are - you tend to put a normal image on, and modify it. Once you've restored, expanded, put in hacks, it's usually not really worth backing it up again as you'll need an ever bigger disc each time.
