  • After Upgrade -- Second Drive Not Recognized

    I just replaced a 40gb drive in a Series 2 TiVo unit with a Seagate 300gb drive from WeaKnees. (The unit would not boot up after being shipped cross-country -- stuck in various stages of booting up, including green screen.) There is a second 160gb drive that does not appear to be reflected in the capacity -- 396 hours for the new drive only.

    I first tried to install the new drive as a master with the second as a slave but could not get the new drive to boot up (gray screen -- just a few more minutes), so I switched it back. Can you tell me what the proper "pin" placement would be for the Seagate as a master? Or offer other advice?

    Also, the new drive is noisy. Even if you can solve this problem, should it be shipped back and replaced? T.

    You need to use mfstools to attach that drive to the new A drive, or we can do it. Info to do it yourself is here:
