  • LBA boot floppy for upgraded 2 drive to bigger 2 drive TiVo?

    I am going for the gold in an attempt to install two new 750 GB drives in my HR10-250 that already has been upgraded to dual 400 GB drives.

    I would like to keep my recordings.

    I have made a backup onto the computer's C drive, and restored and tested it and it works fine.

    Tiger’s Mfs Tools Boot Floppy doesn't seem to support anything over 137 GB when I have the two 400 GB old drives attached on the Primary ATA cable and the two 750 GB drives on the Secondary ATA cable. Is there a similar bootable floppy that will see 750 GB drives?

    I'll try Hinsdale's
    Section 10
    Upgrade Configuration 5
    Option #2) DD Copy / Mfsadd method (requires only 2 available IDE ports). Maybe that is my only hope Obi Wan.

    Or is there a way of keeping my recordings using the Weaknees CD doing a 2 big drives to 2 bigger drives upgrade?

    We don't know of any floppy that will work for large kernel support, so you'd need something like a bootable USB CD drive or a flash drive . . .
    Been here a long time . . .
