TCD649080 Trashed partition table

[mazessj]

I hope I'm posting in the right place for this. I have a TiVo Series 2 dual tuner 80 hour unit, model TCD649080 with a Western Digital WD800BB - 55JK0 model hard drive. Somehow, the partition table got wiped out (or maybe just sector 0). The partitions are no longer recognized and it doesn't boot. I think it may have been damaged by one of the diagnostics utilities on my Hiren Boot CD. As far as I know, the HDD is defect-free.

Any ideas how I can fix it?

Thanks.

If that doesn't work, get a fresh software image and restore it.
