Help with previously upgraded Tivo

[foofighterx]

Hi,
I upgraded my Tivo using the weaknees method. I am now looking to replace the drive in the unit with another ( I think it is going back) When I try to use the same method to copy the data from that drive to the new one, it will not allow me, telling me that there is no enough space on the new drive to copy the data. The drive in the unit is a 300 GB, the new drive is 320 GB, with Weaknees method seeing all drive sizes. Can anyone please help me.

Much Thanks,
John

I don't know what command you used but if you have expanded w/ -x before, you can't expand anymore b/c there is no partition left on the drive.

You can either do

mfsbackup -qTao - /dev/hda | mfsrestore -s 127 -zpi - /dev/hdc

using weakness cd and your capacity will be the same as 300GB so you loose 20GB.

or you can grab my cd (mfslive.org)

backup -qTao - /dev/hda | restore -s 128 -fzpi - /dev/hdc

and use that extra 20GB

/dev/hda is the source hd, /dev/hdc is the destination hd
