Need to copy a disk

I have a Series 2 DirecTivo box. I *think* the HD died. When the box was still working, I would watch a show and there would be intermittent "skips" every 5 sec. or so. I first thought it was the satellite reception but I checked my other DTV boxes and they didn't have the problem.

The box finally died.

I want to copy the contents of the disk to another, new HD. I've heard of MFSLive. I have a question.

The new HD will be "baked" with InstantCake that installs the DTV SW 6.2 version. The HD that died has v6.4. Will there be any compatibility problems if I copy the contents of the v6.4 disk to the v6.2 disk?

If the Hard disk died you probably will not be able to copy anything, so why worry about things over which you have no control.

Season passes have a new format introduced along with 6.4a. No backward compatibility with 6.2a. expect problems
