    removing one hard disk from upgraded tivo

    I got my series 2 (40GB) tivo upgraded by adding another 200 GB drive using weaknees upgrade kit.
    Unfortunately (after exactly 6 months and 2 days !!), I noticed that the drive is failing (pixelations, tivo started hanging etc).

    For the time being, I would like to go back to my 40 GB original configuration. is it alright if I just open the tivo and disconnect (IDE and power for) my 200 GB drive?

    Nope - it won't power up at all if you remove the second drive.

    How do you know which drive is causing the problems? It's more likely to be the older drive.

      is there a way to find out which drive is causing problems?

      is there a way to go back to my original configuration (40 GB) at all?

        You can run diagnostic tests - see the post about that in the other forum. But that doesn't necessarily always tell you everything.

        You can use the instructions to make a backup, and then restore that to just the 40 GB drive. This assumes the drives are working well enough to get a backup image.
