    Adding a seconded tivo drive

    I have two tivo's 1: samsung SIR-s4220R with a Western Digital HR 120 GB. It no longer works but the HD is good)
    2: Hughes SD-DVR40 with a maxtor 3.5 series 40GB. I want to add the 120GB drive to from the Samsung to the Hughes that already has a 40GB. What do I do? Will I lost the data on the 40GB drive that is now in the Hughes unit? These are the drives I now have. I don’t want the expense of buying a new larger drive at this time since the two together will give me all the recording hrs I need. Thanks

    You can add a 120gb to the 40gb without losing what's on the 40. For more information:

      I went the the instructions link and followed the differnt screens. After setting the options it tkaes me to another screen that says Please start in Step 1 for the proper instructions. No matter what options I chose it does the same thing. What am I doing wrong?

          When I go to www.upgrade-instructions.com and fill out the info for hughes model sd-dvr40 it sends me to http://tivo.upgrade-instructions.com/step3.php From there when I click set options it sends my to page http://tivo.upgrade-instructions.com/step4.php which states "Please start in Step 1 for the proper instructions". I keep going round robin. Please help!

            Here is some additonal Info. It does not matter what options I chose it does the same. I want now to just replace the 40 GB drive with the 120GB drive. Here are the options I choose

            Options for your Replace upgrade for your Hughes SD-DVR40:

            Do you want to make a backup: No (Saves your TiVo OS to a file on your PC drive for later use.)
            Do you have a FAT partition on your C drive: No (Most newer PCs have only an NTFS partition.)
            Are you using Windows XP or Windows 2000: Yes
            Save or disregard recordings: Save Ignore
            Are you moving this software from one TiVo to another: Yes No (First three digits of 15 digit TiVo Service Number MUST match.)
            Do you have TiVo OS 6.2 or later? Yes No I don't know I have the lastest software downloads for DirectV

                  That's all working fine for us. Maybe try another browser.
