activate USB

[dragonslayer]

After a lot of hassle & read I have finally upgraded my Hard drive to bigger HD using hinsdale guide, now I would like to enable USB, so I can install my USB wirelsss card instead of phone line, can some one guide me in the right direction.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Connect up the wireless card and run a new guided setup.

I did do that, but nothing happend, so I am assuming that I need to installed USB drivers before I can plug & play..... so where do I find the driver.

Pay the $5. It's well worth it.

The 000001 file is your backed up hard drive image.

I have read that a 1000 times and still I will be missing couple files which is

VMLINUX_.GZ (PTV BOOT CD) & 000001 ( from instantcake CD) which I dont have.

I just need to find out is there a way to download this 2 files without paying.

You most likely will not find the VMILINUX file as I have read that the folks at PTVUpgrade had to pay the creator for the rights to distribute it. Come on, it's only $5. :rolleyes:

As I stated before, the 000001 file is the Tivo image file and it can be yours for FREE. Just back it up using the LBA48 CD from PTVUpgrade. You could pay $20 for it if you wanted.

I took your advice "tracy RainH2o" I bought the PTV upgrade boot cd for $20 what the heck, I'm following directions.......Hopefully I'll be able enable USB & run network.

Thanks is advance for all the help guys.

you didn't ask about downloading the files w/o paying for them in you post above but Tracy answered your question correctly :D
