I was trying to re-install my Cachecard drives since the last Dtivo software upgrade. Through my process of finding the right CD to boot into Linux and install the drivers I think I trashed my /hdc4 partition. When I try to mount my hdc4 partition I get the following error: EXT2-fs error(device ide1(22,4));ext2_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 0 not in group (block 1966608)!

The drive will no longer boot in my Tivo and get stuck at Welcome..Powering up screen.

How can I change the Tivo hard drive to boot off the hdc7 partition? Is it possible? Or how can I copy the hdc7 partition to the hdc4 partition? (I assume this is not possible since I cannot even mount my hdc4 partition).

Of course I would like to do all this without losing all my shows. Is that possible or am I SOL.

Previously, my Tivo was hacked for Tivoweb, Elseed and the cachecard. That is it. It is a DSR6000R. I have never used any Instant cake or CD like that.

Thanks in advance.
