Help upgrading my 540 again

[darkcyber]

Ok, first off, I had a power failure the other day and screwed up things on my Tivo. I have a 540 Series 2 that I upgraded with a 200 gig hd about a year and a half ago. Right now I have this setup in my pc:

Primary Master = Windows C: drive
Primary Slave = 80 gig hd (test drive)
Secondary Master = Tivo original 40 gig hd (works)
Secondary Slave = CDROM drive

Ok, I'm running PTVupgrade LBA48 CD v4.04 and I boot up get past all the boot up screen stuff and I'm down to where I type this in:

mkdir /mnt/dos
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos

mfsbackup -f 9999 -6so /mnt/dos/tivo.bak /dev/hdc

After typing that last line above I get this message:

Read-only file system.

I understand it need s FAT32 on the C:, mine is NTFS. See my reply below for need quesiton.


TIA!

Ok, I did a search and finally found the answer on here. It needs FAT32 to backup to. I plan on keeping my old 40 gig hd as my backup.

So, can I copy the 40 gig over to my 200 gig without making an image? Seems the instructions rely on making an image and then dumping that image over onto a new hd. Anyway to go hd to hd?

I think I found it now...is this correct for copying from the old Tivo hd to a new hd:

dd if=/dev/hdc of=/dev/hdb bs=1024k


(If that command eventually returns an error, try using the following command instead:)


dd conv=noerror,sync if=/dev/hdc of=/dev/hdb bs=1024k
