Updating old OEM S2 drive software?

[hk_jimmy]

Hi there -- long time listener, first time caller:

I have a Series 2 standalone with a 120gb disk instead of my OEM 40gb disk.

My question is this:

My original OEM 40gb disk still has outdated software by more than a year, i've long-since had the newer 120gb disk in and connected to the internet, installing its software updates. The time has come that I want to fiddle with the current software and works, but I don't want to break my 120gb disk.

Can I take out the newer drive, put in my OEM 40gb drive and do a software update on it without the mothership saying "Wait, this serial number has two drives associated with it, i'll shut off their account"?

Thanks,
James

Yes, you most certainly can. Tivo won't say a word.

Well, that was easy.

On to messing around with the inside of my disk!

What wonders lurk?!
