My current Tivo(TCD1300400) is upgraded with two 160gb drives and is using software Ver. 7.1. One of the drives recently died, so I'm planning on replacing both drives with a single larger drive(250gb or more). I have my original drive with a software version under 5.0 and and a back-up image with software version 2.0.

If I use the latest version of MFS Tools to restore the 2.0 image, will the Tivo recognize the full capacity of a 250gb drive?

Would I be better off putting my original drive back in the Tivo, letting it upgrade to the newest software, making a back-up of that image and using it to upgrade to a larger drive?

Thanks,
Micosm

Personally I'd go with your last suggestion and then you would have a more up to date backup should things go wrong again in the future.
