Last night I installed a brand new 1TB hard drive into my Tivo HD using WinMFS and a Tivo Backup Image I had. The upgrade went smoothly and the Tivo booted right up.

After completing setup I entered into the Now Playing list and a message stating that a Hardware Problem had been found was displayed and stated that no new recordings would be made until I restarted the tivo to fix the problem.

I did the restart but the message is still there and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this in the past. Any recommendations on how to go about fixing this?

Was the backup image from the same box (i.e., from the original drive)? Otherwise you may need to run a Clear & Delete Everything. Can you post a screenshot of the error? I've never heard of this one ...

I used an image I "acquired". My old TiVo drive is corrupt. I did supersize in winmfs, maybe that did it? Everything else seems fine.

I will post a screenshot when I get home.

Just do a "Clear & Delete Everything" from the menu. That's a normal part of the process when restoring a drive from an image that wasn't made on the same unit. It's nothing to worry about at all, but you need to do the C&DE, and it will force you to go through Guided Setup again when it completes.

The Clear and Delete Everything fixed it!

Thanks so much!
