On a different website http://coffee.sdsc.edu/rcw/tivo_upgrade/ I found an option for aggressive power management, and acoustic settings.
Supposedly, if after entering the command to copy from the original tivo hard drive to the new hard drive.. if you entered
hdparm -k 1 -B 1 -M 128 /dev/sdX
where X is the letter of your new drive.
supposedly the end result would be
-k 1 = keep settings after drive is powered off.
-B 1 = set most aggressive power management mode.
-M 128 = set acoustic management to as quiet as possible.
does the version of MFSTool that weeknees uses have support for the hdparm command.. does weeknees even suggest using it?
personally I'd rather use the instructions that you provide.. only because of the number of good reviews i've heard about weeknees.. not saying that any place else is bad.. but .. this is my first time trying to upgrade a tivo.
thoughts? suggestions?
thanks in advance
