  • Will a WeaKnees TCD24008A drive work in a TCD540040?

    Just wondering if a WeaKnees 400GB upgrade drive bought as a replacement drive for a TCD24008A model TiVo (and used for a couple of years) could be moved to a TCD540040 model TiVo (to replace the 40GB drive it originally came with)? I'm not looking to save any recordings or settings.

    Is it simply a matter of doing a "clear and delete everything" after installation?

    Or does it require going through the steps described at http://tivo.upgrade-instructions.com/ ?

    Or something else? Or will it not work at all?

    Thanks,
    - Mark

    Sorry, those units use different drives/software. You need to have the drive reprogrammed...it won't boot unless you do. See:
