I have a TCD240040 TiVo (TiVo brand). I was having a prob with the dial-ins where they would get stuck processing data (loading?) and I would have to pull the plug to get the unit going again. But then I ran out of guide data.
At first I thought this was a modem problem, but after research, I see it's a drive problem. So I got a new drive and used your instructions to copy it.
I can't say this was easy, but I got the CD burned and took my PC apart and reconfigured everything and did this copy:
based on your instructions.
The copy finished in about three hours (some parts moved really, really slow and showed some weird info). Because of the amount of time this took, I figured it must have made the copy.
Now, I get this endless loop of staring up -> almost there -> starting up, over and over.
I'll try the copy again tonight, but does it look like I did something wrong here?
