:confused: Hello all, I am stuck in the middle of a hard drive upgrade. I have a series 1 tivo with 1 single 14 gig hard drive that im upgrading to a bigger one. I got as far as hooking both my old tivo drive and the new HDD up to my computer and I got booted into the TiVo upgrade bootable CD in Dos. Heres what is written on the instructions:
Then:
mfsbackup -f 9999 -so - /dev/hdX (/dev/hdY) | mfsrestore -s 127 -r 4 -xzpi - /dev/hdZ (/dev/hdZZ)
Parentheticals are for two drive to two drive or one drive to two drive situations. Replace X, Y, Z, and ZZ with the actual drive identifiers, and remove either the entire parenthetical for one drive to one drive, or the parentheses themselves for other configurations as appropriate. Don't miss the "-" on each part of the equation. The pipe character - "|" - is made by typing shift-backslash.
This whole thing is completly vague and I have no idea what to do. The screen brings me to something that says "enter to boot" or something, so i do. Then i bring me to a "#" prompt. I tried typing the above command but I have NO idea what my drive identifiers are and it doesnt say anything of the sort in the BIOS. Any idea what I am supposed to do here? Thanks alot!
Edit: thought I might note that I am not backing anything up. I just have my old tivo HD as the Master Drive and the new HDD that is going into the TiVo set as a Slave. thats all that I can fit into my computer.
