I have an original 40GB HDVR2 that has been upgraded once to 126 hours and zippered. The drive is a couple of years old and is showing signs of failing. I've transferred off all my recordings and tried to do a backup/restore without saving recordings. I've read the upgrade guides but when the new drive is booting the system hangs at the "Unleashed" screen. If I put the failing drive I'm making the backup from back in it boots fine.

What is the correct command to perform the backup/restore?

I guess you cant make a image without zipper since you are making an image of the original drive that has zipper already installed. IF MFS doesnt work then you may have to use DD and another thing is your oringal drive could be hosed some how.

sk33t3r, The drive that is zippered and in use boots fine but has some stuttering issues so I tried to do a backup/restore using both Hinsdale and the Weaknees guide which seemed to finish sucessfully but when I put the new drive in it hangs at the "Unleashed" zipper screen on boot. When I put the original zipper drive back in it boots fine. Any ideas, I've done several backup/restores in the past just like this one without issue. I'm not sure what it could be.
