I have a Philips HDR112 bought in 2002 or 2004 I forget when..
At that time I made an image of the 14GB "A" Drive
and then added a 100GB "B" drive.
(The Tivo had firmware version 1.x or so)
This past week the "A" Drive died, so I
took the "B" drive, low level formatted it and
then restored the "A" drive image on it with the following command:
1. mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
2. mfsrestore -s 127 -r 4 -zxpi /mnt/tivo.bak /dev/hdc
3. mad/edit_bootparms hdc -i
All went well, Installed it, hooked up the phone line,
took the download for Firmware 3.0
Now I took out the "A" Drive to make an Image of it
(now that its update to 3.0) and I use the commands:
1. mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
2. mfsbackup -f 9999 -1so /mnt/tivo3.bak /dev/hdc
All went well, but I noticed that it seems that the 100GB HD
is backing up the same size as the original 14GB backup file size,
I recall one of the screens mentioning that it was an expanded drive..
Is there a way to image the New "A" Drive with 3.0, so
next time I will not have to use the phone line to upgrade
when I do a restore ?
Thanks,
Scott
