my series 2 tivo 540040 only reconizes 40 hrs with both hd's connected , but will not boot to tivo central without the second hd connected in the tivo .do i have to mount both of these drives to do a backup and upgrade to a newer and bigger single hd 320gb or can i mount only the original tivo drive and do the backup .

That's pretty strange. Could it be a jumper issue with the master drive? Did you use Linux to connect the drives? More info is here:

i didnt check the jumpers on the orginal tivo drive (stupid me) I did use linxus weeknees upgrade info from your site.maybe the jumpers is my problem for not getting the added hrs after upgrade . may try again this weekend thank-youComment
