This Morning I tried to do an expansion of my series 2 from 80 GB to 400 GB using to Maxtor 200 GB Drives.

Entered the Command Line "backup -qTao - /dev/hda | restore -s 128 -r 4 -xzpi - /dev/hdc /dev/hdd "

Recieved the message restore complete.

Placed the ONLY the new Master drive in th tivo to make sure it worked.

I received the "Just a few minutes more: message then it went to a TIVO Blue Screen message reading "The External Storage Device Not Detected your Tivo Media Recorder will not work without it . Please make sure it is connected than unplug and plug in again

If you Know longer wish to use the External device press Clear.

What DID I DO WRONG?

Don't want to go any further until I here from someone

Thanks in Advance

What DID I DO WRONG?
Well, if I'm reading this correctly you restored an image to 2 drives, and then only put 1 drive in the tivo. That's what's wrong. Those drives are married now, and shouldn't be separated like that.
