I imaged my hard drive with instant cake and when I put it the tivo, it gets stuck at the welcome screen, I read some post around the internet that certain computers hardware configuration causes this issue. I've redone it on three computers and still nothing.

80 GB maxtor HD
Hughes SD-DVR40

Someone please help, I'm going into Tivo withdrawl.

Does Instantcake show any errors? It sounds like the image was not loaded properly. Did you also get the correct Instantcake for your TiVo?

I got it to work by mounting my drive using this command
#mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 -r /cdrom
