  • TiVo HD Drive Upgrade Prob

    I used Knoppix and the steps at www.bumwine.com/tivo.html to try this upgrade and ran into a problem. This is a brand new TiVo HD with no recordings at all, my HD service isn't even installed yet. Going from the original 160GB SATA drive to a 1TB WD SATA drive.

    The DD went fine and completed in about 70 minutes, but the 'mfstool add' part fails with the following error:

    Primary volume header corrupt, trying backup.
    Secondary volume header corrupt, giving up.
    mfs_load_volume_header: Bad checksum.
    Unable to open MFS drives.

    I hooked up the original 160GB to the TiVo and it works fine, hooked up the new 1TB and it works fine too but the space hasn't been expanded. Any suggestions? I've tried various formats of the 'mfs add' & 'mfstools add' with no luck.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    PS - This is a dup post from the 'Interactive TiVo Upgrade Instructions' forum. Thought this might be a more appropriate forum.
