  • Tivo series 3 upgrade problem

    I used dd command to copy my 500GB hard drive to a new 750GB hard drive.
    I put the new hard drive back to Tivo series 3 and test it out, it works fine.
    So, I put it back to PC and try to expend the capacity for the new drive.
    Here is the problem….

    After “./mfstool add -x /dev/sdb -r 4”
    Returns
    Standalone size 582 hours
    No more to add

    The new drive should have more than 582 hours.
    I wonder what happened? Why I can’t expend the new drive…..
    Please help!!

    You can't expand a drive that's already had one expansion. Since you did a dd, you've copied an expanded image. The only way to get all of the space would be to do a backup and restore so that you are back to a 250 GB image size, and then use your one expansion to get to 750 GB.
    Been here a long time . . .
