Help getting .vhd file to new drive

Advertisements

Here's where I'm at. My Tivo hard drive crashed. I purchased a new 1TB drive have it connected to my Windows 10 box as an empty drive E.

ggieseke helped my out by sending a .VHD file which is now on my windows desktop.

I've been trying without much success to figure out how to get the .VHD to my E drive correctly so my Tivo recognizes it.

Any guidance is appreciated.

 

Thanks for the advice! I've made significant progress but I'm still stuck. I purchased a new drive and used that factory drive with DVRBars to load the image on the drive. Took a while via USB, but completed successfully. It booted my Tivo like a brand new unit which is farther than I got with the original drive that died. I went through the setup and go to loading the Tivo Service data. I completed Preparing, Connecting, Getting Info, Disconnecting just fine. As soon as it gets to Loading data, the unit reboots. I tried 3 times and it reboots in seemingly the same spot every time.

Any assistance is appreciated.

 

So the plot thickens. I tried once again to initiate the Tivo. This time I went to advanced options, installer options and turned of MoCA. When I got to loading the Tivo service data, the Tivo did not reboot, the loading went all the way through the percentage count. However, at the very end, I got an error S03 and it did not complete. I tried twice with the same results.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks.

 

False alarm! I kept playing around with it and now I'm rocking and rolling!
