Several years ago I upgraded my lifetime SAT-T60 DirecTivo by adding a second (larger) drive. All's been fine until a couple of months ago when we started seeing spontaneous reboots. Attributing it initially to being near capacity, I removed a lot of stuff and got back to a 10% free space situation. Last week it rebooted into a Powering Up screen and stayed there.
Back when I made a backup of the original 40MB HD in the A position and as I type this I am restoring the backup to a brand new 320GB HD. I am wondering what to do next, particularly since my goal would be to make my wife really, really happy and see all the shows we recorded still there.
However:
Since the upgraded TiVo was original 40 (A) + 160 added on (B) and the backup was only for the pre-upgrade 40 I think I'm SOOL.
But maybe there is a way...I sense that there may be some set of dd commands I could try that would copy areas of the existing A and B to the new superlarge drive, or that would marry the new A to the old B in such a way that some or most of the shows would still be there.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
