Hello folks,
I was having problems with stopple so I searched the web and found several recommendations to use the maxtor disk analysis tools.
I have a unit that has the original fireball 3 40 GB and 1 maxtor quickview 160 GB drive that I purchased from weaknees. The maxtor tool reported the first drive as being bad so using dd I copied that drive to another 40 GB seagate I had. The copy didn't work. The in and out were not equal, the in was 1 more than the out. It looks like the maxtor is 40.1 GB and the seagate is 40 GB. (smaller).
Well I thought that I could just copy the maxtor A 40 GB to the maxtor B 160 GB and everything would be dandy. That didn't work and now I'm screwed and like a big dumba** I didn't make an image backup of the tivo drives.
I guess the only way for me to fix this is to get a good hdvr2 image and restore to the maxtor 160 GB drive. Will I be able to find the image? Any suggestions on how I can get my tivo back up and running?
Thanks.
