I have read all the other threads about swapping drives and I just want to verify that this will work in my situation.
I have a tivo series 2 40gb TCD540040 with lifetime service and a tivo series 2 80gb model DRT800 Humax with a monthly subscription.
I canceled the subscription on the 80gb one and tried to swap the 80gb hard drive into the lifetime 40gb box.
All went well but when I went to start it up, it said hardware error. I did not empty and delete the drive before putting it in. If i do this and reinstall it will it work or is it a drive <> motherboard compatibility issue?
