Can I use the hitachi hdd 3100 or3200?

[aramistech]

Yes you can use any hard drive you want.

Great video, I was wondering what the name is of the monitors that you have on your desktop, and what size resolution etc they are.

[aramistech]

Thanks, the monitors are dell 19" I bought them long ago I don't think dell sells them anymore. The resolution is 1280x1024.

Thank you so much! I've never hooked up a hard drive of any kind but mine took a crap. I can't afford a professional and your video helped me all the way through. Thank you!

this video skiped the part I need help with. Connecting the tivo drive, clonning it and loading it to the new drive.

Or is all this done while the drive is in the tivo?? .

[jawbraeka]

i have a question.. can you simply record free to air shows on the box or is it for cable only? free to air refers to what you guys might call over the air in the us.

the video JUMPS from looking at back of unit to SOMEHOW cloning a drive.. leaving off important how to steps. HOW to clone old hard drive?with original programs and TIVO software??? then how to put that onto new TIVO hard drive???

[lsi624]

@aramistech Any old hard drive can be used?....Is there a specific WD or Hitachi 2TB drive that must be used?....Ive heard that TIVO needs a particular external eSata drive....With the JMFS tool can you jam any old huge drive into a TIVO Premiere ??

[adravland]

Will this work for the Directv Tivo boxes as well?

So I followed the steps exactly, for Tivo Series 3 and the system wont boot. I get the inital splash screen and it stays there. I reformatted the WD Green 1TB Drive using the mfs utility.. and I tried again, same deal. I am now trying an older version of Tivo code.. 11.0c, that I had leftover from my last swap a year and a half ago. If this doesnt work, anyone else have suggestions?

[arid21]

I'm a bit confused. I understand the technical part of installing the 1TB hard drive but then how do i connect it to the CPU? and what software did you use to to clone & copy it? am i suppose to this first before i take out the hard drive?

Thank you for your help! Get video. I just finished my back-up and upgrade w/1TB drive and it took me only a few minutes.
