        installed old hard drive and it works fine. is hard drive not formatted correctly? what is the easy way to format, and whatever else has to be done. we tried the maxblaster but it only works with their harddrives. thanks

          Sure sounds like you have a drive that was programmed incorrectly.

              Had you done that with TiVoToGo? If so, use TiVoGoBack to move them back.
              Been here a long time . . .

                      Sounds like you moved a drive from one TiVo to another. You can't do it and access the recordings. You have to do a "clear and delete everything" to get rid of the Error, which will wipe your programming.
