I bought a used HR10-250 and naturally the hard drive failing/gone bad. I need a short term fix because I cannot watch tv at all without this thing working.
I was told to follow Hinsdale to ready a hard drive for use on the tivo box. I have tried but I cannot. I consider myself very capable of making the proper hard drive connections. But running the boot disk has been a nightmare and has not worked. Partly due to me not knowing the dos language
I want to ready a very small (8gb drive) just to get the box working to watch tv until I can get another 250gb drive up and running. I realize that I cannot record much if anything but the box only seems to work with the live recording feature on. I want to write the tivo software to the little disk and put it in the tivo. Alas, this is where I fail miserably. I have tried the dos commands but I get little to no result. The way I read most of this stuff is to backup the drive from the tivo unit and then copy it to the new drive. That doesnt seem feesible to me. I just want to make a new disc with the software to get my box running. Im not interested in saved settings or recordings. Is there a simple, layman's method for this? I appreciate your input.
