R10 upgrade question

[DDaland]

Recently, the Hard drive on my 2 year old DirecTV R10 started acting "flakey"- would reboot in the middle of watching recorded shows, etc. Decided to replace the hard drive with a larger drive (160 gb) - I have a fair amount of Computer hardware knowledge, and a fair amount of Linux knowledge. Used the Weaknees Tivo upgrade chart to determine what I wanted to do- Copied over the old drive to the new drive- After the Weaknees disk reported several errors in the process, finally got to a command prompt- but no report on the new recording size. Tried the new Hard drive anyway- seems to work ok. Still reports as a 70 hr recording time. Anything I need to do to make sure I've got a higher capacity?

Did you use a LBA48 Boot CD image? That will get you over that 137gb partition limit.

If it is still showing as 70 hrs it hasn't been expanded. You can do that with an LBA48 MFStools CD.
