SATA Problem

[mille1j]

just went to a friends house to attempt to upgrade my tivo HD. Planned to go to a 1TB WD drive. However, the mfs tools kept returning IDE errors on launch and i could not get to a command line. I ***think*** the problem came from the fact that his SATA controller is a RAID controller. When i had his RAID drives plugged in the, there was no problem, but when i tried to plug my pair in instead, i got the IDE errors.

any suggestions? do i just need to find a different desktop to use?

Maybe try winmfs from mfslive.org.

Yes, that's all you can use on a Tivo HD....mfs tools will NOT work according to the site.

Huh? Many of us have upgraded drives for the THD using WinMFS.
