Hi all,
A month or so ago I decided to increase the recording cpacity of my TiVo Series 2 (TCD240080) box. I already added a second 120GB drive a year or more ago but I'm suffering from "TiVo full" erros constantly (I'm a packrat, okay?).
So I decided to upgrade the 120GB drive to 250GB. I put the A and B drives in a spare PC and ran msftools. I got an error stating the A drive could't be read. After a few failed attempts I decided to put everything back together. Now TiVo fails to boot. It gets to the "almost there" screen then I get a green screen saying there is a major problem, please wait up to 3 hours. Then it reboots, almost immediately, and starts the process over again -- ad infinitem. :down:
Next, I decided to restore my old backup ('cause I can't make a new one since I can't read the A drive) from a year or so ago, and mfstools says it's invalid.
I decided next to just put in my OLD A drive that I stored away, and at least have 80 hours again. TiVo trys to boot and just hangs forever.
So, NOW WHAT? I've been without TiVo for nearly a month and can't figure out what to do. I MISS MY TIVO!
Any and all suggestions will be graciously accepted!!!!!
