I have a new 250gb hard drive that I want to use to replace a failing hd in my hr10-250. Is there a windows hard drive cloning program?

I own Acronis true image but do not know if it will work and do not want to spoil a new drive while experimenting..

No, those programs won't work with Tivo's file format. You need MFSTools. Check out the links here for information about how to replace/upgrade your Tivo's hard drive ....

Yes, just use the MFS tools. It's very easy, I just upgraded my original HD that was slowly beginning to fail to a 400GB drive. It was time consuming because I had about 20 hours of High Def...so took about 14-15 hours. But all you have to do is hook it up correctly and use 1 command and it's works like magic.
