  • Moving drive without formatting/reblessing

    I'm on holiday with family and don't have access to a PC. My mom had her WeaKnees upgraded DirectTV R10 unit knocked out by a lightning strike, and wants me to move the upgraded B drive to another R10. If I just move the drive physically over without formatting and reblessing the drive, will it work?

    If not, I can take the drive back home with me and format it and bless it using my PC at home. She does have a Mac here, but as far as I can tell that isn't going to do much good.

    Thanks for any help! I won't be surprised if no one is reading these forums over the holiday weekend, but if you are then thank you even more!!!

    Unfortunately, you can't move a B drive from one Tivo and put it into another. You would have to reprogram (bless) the drive again, and that will work only if the drive in the other R10 is the factory drive.
