Look at this previous post and give it a try.

My Bittorrent client is now up and will have the 6.2small and 6.4a files available for the next two days. Check my earlier posts in this thread for instructions.

One method is a USB to SATA adapter. Make sure you get one that is recognized by the flavor if Linux you are using.

There are several possible sourced of your confusion. Laptop drives are commonly 2.5", the DVRs I know use 3.5" drives. The SATA connectors on 2.5" and 3.5" drives are identical. The TCD652160 does...

De nada.

Try it again. I just put it up again. It will be available for at least 48 hours.

It is not uncommon for the contents of /var to disappear on a reboot. The partition is checked on startup and if it's too full, it gets wiped.

I am currently sharing the 6.4a slices on bittorrent; they will be available for at least the next two days. The torrent and instructions are in an earlier post of mine on this thread.

Not really. Read the threads from about 7 years ago when the HR10-250 became available, as well as from the time of the release of the 'Night Light' TiVo.

The original Series 2 TiVos (TCD240040,...

I guess that would make it a Series 2.5 - similar to the 'Night Light' model.

Accessing a hard drive larger than 137 Gig requires LBA-48 addressing. The kernel in early Series 2 TiVo and DirecTiVo software did not support LBA-48 addressing; the kernels supplied in later...

The questions have been answered in the other thread, but here's my two cents worth.

No, TiVo doesn't recycle them. On the hand, Campbell doesn't recycle their soup cans, Miller their beer...

That is not possible with mfsrestore. It does not have the capability of adjusting sizes of the mfs database partitions.

There ARE two other possibilities (both requiring skills well above mine)....

That covers the essentials of removal. The Curious Inventor has a number of other videos that cover aspects of soldering. Believe me when I say that soldering the new part in place is definitely...

That was possible on the Series 1 TiVos and DirecTiVos. The circuit board layout prevented it on the Series 2 and later systems. IIRC, there was some discussion on the possibility of isolating the...

I'm not sure about the differences between a Series 2 TiVo or DirecTiVo and TiVoHD, but on the Series 2 systems the steps involved for hacking a DirecTiVo and a Tivo were virtually identical. As a...

These power supplies are known to fail, the caps are of dubious quality. Other than digging out the old glue, they are easy to repair.
Glad you got it working, now you don't have to be blue any...

The freezing is often caused by marginal sectors in the buffer area. A quick test is to pause a live broadcast for 5-10 seconds, then resume viewing (but do NOT fast forward). If the freezing...

Whew!!! Did THAT open a can of worms!!! Somewhere in my 5572 posts I have clues to the information you seek.

First, the bad news. I've never hacked a Series 3 TiVo. And more bad news, I have...

I really feel for you and wish I could help. Unfortunately, it's been 5 years since I hooked a TiVo drive up to a computer and did anything more than followed a script. I am not a Linux guru, and...

You've started in the right place - the Newbie forum, and did the right thing - ask for help.
I'd suggest two steps. First skim Captain Video's TiVo Hacking 101. That will expose you to the basics....

The process has been well documented. The first step is a bear.
1. Wait until all needed patches have been documented.
2. Edit the upgrade script to simply exit rather than flip partitions and...

For those who are looking for slices to upgrade their Series 2 DirecTiVo to 6.4a, here is one option.

1. Download the Bit Torrent client and install it. Other clients may or may not work.

2....

The instructions should be in my earlier post in this thread. Since I'm to tired to look it up, here's the compressed version.
1. Download the Bit torrent client and and install it.
2. ...

Try here. :rolleyes:
