Howdy )

I decided to upgrade my series 2, 40 hour tivo last week and went out to compusa and picked up a 320gig maxtor drive... I followed the instructions but think i screwed up at the end.... I wasnt able to make a backup cus my c drive on my pc is NTFS.. so I just tried a straight copy. heres what i did and it resulted in my new hard drive giving me a gray screen..

I followed the steps in hooking the drives up to my pc...
I followed the command for mounting the drive..
I typed the command to copy the drive.. Here is where i developed my first question. durring the process it says in the instruction that a status indicator will tell me the persentage to completion... when i typed the command in and hit enter it started but code was racing through the screen and the speeker on my pc was making a chatering noise and beeping everytime the hd indicator lit up... the code was scrolling by so fast i could hardly see in percentage indicator... Is this supposed to happen ????

It finished about 8 hours later... I them typed the command to expand the drive... I think I jumped the gun and screwed up at this point...

I know it was going to take a long time to copy the drive... How long does it take to expand the drive ???

the command i used to expand the drive was
mfsrestore -r 4 -s 127 -xzpi - /dev/hda
is ths correct?

before I try again should I run the maxtor disk and write the drive to 0 ??

P.S. the original tivo dive was fine I managed not to screw that one up....
