So today is when I FINALLY get to upgrade my TiVo HD to a new WD 1-TB drive. I'm doing this in kind of a convoluted way and I'm in need of a little help. The upgrade is happening on my iMac. I have WinXP (SP2) running on Parallels and I have one SATA --> USB enclosure. I'm using WinMFS to do the upgrade.
My goal is to backup my TiVo HD drive and then restore it to the new 1-TB drive. Now I know this method will work for making the new drive TiVo-ready and when I go to restore WinMFS should ask if I want to expand the drive's usage to 1-TB but here is my question:
Will this method preserve my settings (thumbs, season passes, etc)?
I know this won't keep my recordings but that is not an issue. While setting up all 50 SP's and Wishlists would suck it's not the end of the world. I would like to avoid it though.
Thanks!
