Yes, I have it too...
I've talked with Tivo about replacing my unit, but I was wondering if I could use my backup image (it's 3 year's old) and put it on a new hard drive and proceed from there?
I've download and created a bootable CD of mfstools, placed a new drive on the PC (slave settings) and then tried to copy the backup over.
I'm using the Tivo.upgrade instructions and getting confused when my commands aren't working.
mount /dev/hda /mnt
and then
mfsrestore -s 127 -r 4 -zxpi /mnt/tivo.bak /dev/hda
1. Is this worth the effort? Will it work?
2. What commands should I be using?
I've been searching the forums and just getting more frustrated... thanks for any help.
