I need to mount my tivo drives in my pc so that I can edit .profile or remove it, to fix a boot issue. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Why don't you just telnet in and make your changes right on your TiVo. Sure would be a whole lot easier.

I tried that I am gettting:

I typed:
mount /dev/hda4 /tivo
Then I tried:
mount /dev/hda7 /tivo

Got this error on both:
mount: mount point /tivo does not exist

The drives are connected as master and slave on the primary ide
This is a two drive unit you still mount drive a right? I tried mounting drive b with same result. Sorry to be a pain but i can not seem to get it.

did you mkdir /tivo?
look at step 5. I laid the whole process out step by step in that guide.

I must have missed that
now I am getting:
"mount: you must specify filesystem type"

if hda4 doesn't work hda7 should and only hook up the "A" tivo drive.

Just one last question; "where is the .profile" When I edited it with telnet I just typed vi /.profile that does not seem to work how would i edit it in my PC. Thanks again :D SO Close yet SO far..
