Ok i have given up on the original Maxtor 40G drive from my HDVR2 and went out and bought a WD 80G drive.
I'm still having problems putting my image on the 80G drive.
I will list the instructions i received from the person that sold me the image.
Is there anything wrong with these instructions?? I used Partion Magic to create a FAT32 partition on a 40G drive which is my D:\ drive, i created a folder called tivo and dropped the HDVR2.bak in there. I also change my drive letters to "d" when using these instructions.
the first command--> mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/d
tells me--> /dev/hda1 : success
mount : you must specify the files system type.
then when trying--> mfsrestore -xzpi /mnt/d/tivo/HDVR2.bak /dev/hdc
i get -- unable to locate folder or file.
Here is the instructions he sent me!
<<---------------------------------------------------------------------->>
After the CD boots, press ENTER. When you get to the "#" prompt, type the following commands.
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/c
mfsrestore -xzpi /mnt/c/tivo/HDVR2.bak /dev/hdc
Ctrl+Alt+Delete : Reboot computer with boot CD again.
After restoring the image, then remount the partitions. Press the ENTER key after every line and make sure you type it EXACTLY.
Partition Copy Procedure
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/c
dd if=/mnt/c/tivo/hd3.img of=/dev/hdc3
dd if=/mnt/c/tivo/hd4.img of=/dev/hdc4
dd if=/mnt/c/tivo/hd6.img of=/dev/hdc6
dd if=/mnt/c/tivo/hd7.img of=/dev/hdc7
dd if=/mnt/c/tivo/hd9.img of=/dev/hdc9
dd if=/mnt/c/tivo/monte_romfs.img of=/dev/hdc16
mount /dev/hdb /cdrom
cd /cdrom
bootpage -P "root=/dev/hda4 dsscon=true console=2,115200
BASH_ENV=\`mount\$IFS-n\$IFS/dev/hda16\$IFS/mnt;echo\$IFS/mnt/runmonte\`" -C /dev/hdc
If you typed in correctly, you should expect it to say ..done
