backup failed from original tivo series 2 to another tivo series 2 hard drive

[kapadia]

I had loss of power failure during tivo software update on my 1st tivo. So took out original drive ( failed update during power failure ) and with instacake , installed 250 gb new drive and tivo works fine. (call tivo X)

I just got series 2 tivo with first 3 digits service no being same with tivo x. (call it tivo Y)


What I want to do: Restore my failed original drive (from tivo x)
Now With upgrade insutructions for restoring one original drive to another original drive ( both original drive has same capacity),from http://tivo.upgrade-instructions.com/step4.php

"TiVo Replace Upgrade Instructions for your 540040:"

I did everything as mentioned.

put working original drive as primarry master ( from tivo y)
put failed upgarde drive as secondary salve ( from tivo x )
boot up with MFStools 2.0

and use command with appropriate modifications

:mfsbackup -f 9999 -so - /dev/hda | mfsrestore -s 127 -r 4 -xzpi - /dev/hdd

and I get this..
/devhdd: no such file or directory 09%
restore failed: unable to open destination device for writing


Can anyone help. ?

I assumes that Original drive(from tivo X) do not work due to corrupt tivo software (power failure during tivo software update) and I can salvage that with trasfering tivo software from original drive from tivo y

Generally if the original drive failed, the error would point there, but that still may be the case. Have you tried testing the /dev/hda drive?
