View Full Version : Ran dd_restore on 750G drive -> 1G drive, can't get extra space unlocked

Hello,

I ran a dd_restore (edit: dd_rescue) from a 750G drive to a 1TB drive. I then tried to do a 'MfsAdd' from winmfs, but it said "nothing to do!"

When I check the Tivo properties, I've got 144 hours. I think this is the same value that the 750G drive had!

Is there any way to unlock the extra space?

Thanks
Todd

144 is as much as you can get from 1TB drive. It apparently was expanded and supersized.

what process did you use to do the MSFadd? After the DD_rescue?

My 1TB TiVos show 144 hours after supersizing. My 750GB TiVo shows 107 hours after supersizing.
