Original HD image?

[digitalamish]

OK, I'm not a newbie (had my tivo for 3 years), but I have a newbie-like question. When I first created a backup of my drive, all those many moons ago, I did so after I messed up my binaries directory. I lost several of the files. I have since regained functions like 'ls' (echo * is not fun!).

I am considering reformatting my machine, maybe replacing with some larger drives. I'd like to use an original image. I still have my original backup, but like I said, I'd like to get back to an actual 'virgin' image. I beleive the serial number of each individual tivo is encoded in the hardware, and reset on the HD each time the machine is booted. So, I would think any image (not just mine) will work. Of course I will need an image from the same type of machine.

So, does anyone know where I can find an ISO image for a series 1 Phillips machine? If the MFS area has been wiped, it should be fairly small. Is there somewhere (or someone) I can get this? Does anyone know if using someone elses image will NOT work?

Thanks.....

There are download links for Tivo images in the How Tos Only sticky in the main DTivo hacking forum. The Tivo Upgrades page at the 9th Tee website also has links for images.

Thanks for the link captain_video. Wouldn't have thought to look for SA images in the DTivo forum.
