Convert internal drive to external?
I had a Tivo HD 652160. It was configured with a WD 500GB expander. I was having a number of problems with it; locking up, stuttering, failing to boot intermittently, etc.
I decided to purchase one of your 750GB internal drives. That seemed to fix most of the problems except for ocassional audio stuttering on live programs only.
40 days later the Tivo totally died, green light and and fan on, but nothing else. I opted to have Tivo exchange the unit since it had lifetime activation. Since installing the drive in the exchange unit would void the warranty I'm stuck as to what to do with the 750GB drive.
Is it possible to install the 750GB in the WD 500GB expander and use it as an external drive, or do the partitions that are already on the 750 drive prevent it from reformatting and working as an external drive.
Thanks
