Help getting .vhd file to new drive

You need to use the Windows program DVRBars to restore the .VHD image to the drive. But, you would need to delete that drive E:, erase the drive, leave it blank and just restore the image .VHD file to the drive.

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.

A couple things to try.

One is to disconnect it from the internet for 3 to 4 days and allow it to do its own garbage collection.

The other thing would be to do a clear and delete everything and set it up anew again.

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

ThAbtO thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

I am going to do this with a Premiere 4 and wonder how you did get it to work as I have not done the restore yet and wanted to be sure I do it right.

You need to use the Windows program DVRBars to backup or restore.

Yes, I got that but wondered what he did where it did not update then all was good.

It needs to be under Administrator user.

Yes, and I will give it a try tomorrow AM as the image is a bit older and we will see if it updates! OH, we moved here from the Bay Area...Saratoga.
