Hello All,

I have a Tivo HD I am trying to upgrade to a 1TB drive. I downloaded the latest version of WinMFS, but when I launch the program, it will not recognize any drive at all, not even mounted ones.

I seriously doubt I fried both drives. Anyone have any suggestions or an alternate way I can copy this Tivo drive to the 1TB drive?

Thanks!

I seem to remember that WinMFS won't see drives that are mounted in the Windows filesystem. Go into Disk Management and make sure the TiVo drives aren't mounted.

I seem to remember that WinMFS won't see drives that are mounted in the Windows filesystem. Go into Disk Management and make sure the TiVo drives aren't mounted.Right, that's a built in saftey precaution to save users from accidentaly dumping a TiVo filesystem onto one of their windows drives and blowing away the OS and/or all their data.

(There's a checkbox for 'Show Mounted Drives' that will override this. Be careful when using it, since if you select the wrong destination drive things will get ugly [see above: loss of OS and/or data])
