  • Making a copy with XP

    Is there a way to make a backup of TIVO with NTFS. Or do I just have to do option 3 copying tivo directly to new drive without having the net to catch me.

    better question

    I have a Tivo 140060 with the factory Hard drive its about 4 years old. The only PC i have is running XP with NTFS so making an image i believe is out of the question (if wrong would love to be able to). Could I take the factory 60g and make two 250g drives in dd or do I have to use one 500?

      Assuming you'd be working in Linux, you should be able to go from your factory 60GB drive to dual 250GB drives and see the full storage capacity. However, DD is just for doing a direct copy. In order to expand you'll then need to expand the drives using:

      Code:
      mfsadd -x /dev/hdx /dev/hdy
      replacing the "x" and "y" above with the new drive positions on your computer
      That's all there is to it!
