  • Tivo Series 2 drive replacement

    My series 2 started freezing intermittently. After 9 years I believe the hard drive is going bad. I tried replacing the 60GB (PATA/Western Digital) drive with a 120 GB (PATA/Western Digital) drive. I followed the Hinsdale instructions and saw no errors. When I installed the new drive in my series 2 it would not go past the "Powering up..." screen. I verified that jumper settings were correct - no boot. I re-installed the original drive and it boots ok. I tried doing the entire process a second time and still no boot. Any ideas?

    I would suspect that the replacement drive isn't in good shape. Have you tested it?

      I believe that the drive is good. I can download the western digital diags and verify that the drive is good.

        That's what I'd try.
