Hello,
I have a DTV R10 with an 80gig. I got a WD 320 gig to add as a second B drive. I did the steps to get the image backuped and restored to the 320 gig and it tested good as a standalone. Here's the issue. I want the existing 80 gig to be the primary tivo drive and the 320 gig to be the secondary. When I tried to make the existing 80 gig recognize the 320 gig I used this command:
msfadd -x /dev/hdc /dev/hdb where hdc was the 80 gig and hdb was the 320 gig.
When I installed both drives in the TIVO, correctely jumpered 80gig=master, 320gig=slave, it gets past the power-up screen and almost there but I got a error screen stating "a serious error occured and to leave the tivo on for several hours with a phone line connected and the tivo would try to correct itself." It didn't correct itself but went into a loop and just repeated that sequence over and over.
To troubleshoot I installed the 80gig standlalone and it just went into a power-up/almost there/then roboot continual loop with no error messsage. To furthur troubleshoot, I installed the 320 gig standalone, and now just got a grey screen.
To keep my wife happy I restored and expanded the backup image to the 320gig and am running that standalone.
Since I bought the dual drive tivo kit and now have the original 80 gig (it had programs on it I prefer not to loose) sitting on the sidelines, can someone please advise me on how to add this 80 gig as a second B drive, leaving the 320 (which is now gathering programs) as the prime A drive? This should be simple according to the writeups but as I've already blown it as above, I thought it best to get some help.
Thanks in advance.
