If you're running 11.0k, you can use a 2TB in a 648 or a 652 and just copy the stock drive straight to it with WinMFS (although my personal preference is up the swap size to 1024MB while I'm at it),...

Is there a reason you need that specific image?

Is it just to allow you to use a particular size drive?

Where do you get the idea that you need an extra partition on the internal?

So what you need is a truncated backup of a previous version of the 649 software.

Only problem there is it'll have come from a different machine, which means a TSN mismatch, which means the TiVo...

A TiVo is either going to have a program guide or an out-of-date program guide.

How is the TiVo currently calling the mothership?

Telephone?

Wired Ethernet connection?

Wireless?

So you're trying to use it with neither a lifetime nor currently paid up subscription?

TiVoCommunityForums (tivocommunity.com) also has an image begging thread with the confusing title of "Need an image? Don't PM me".

Don't just tell us what you are trying to achieve, tell us why you're trying to.

There may be a better way to get to where you want to go.

Wasn't that whole 2.5 thing more of a DirecTiVo deal?

I'm guessing that 120GB WD is not exactly brand new.

Have you run the WD diagnostic long test on it?

You can get an .iso image of a bootable cd with the diagnostic program on it from the WD...

I suspect you'll need to restore to a 250 or larger and then figure out how to shrink it.

Go over to the IDE/SATA adapter thread on TCF and see if anybody's successfully used a SATA drive and...

It's still going to be several days before I can take a 649 out of service and backup an image that has my zip code and such and not the info of whoever I bought the machine from to begin with, but I...

Both will start you out in Guided Setup.

Who are you on /.?

You can PM it to me if you're shy.:)

Stupid question time.

You get an image from some other guy's TiVo that has his zip code and his channel line-up and his blah, blah, blah, and you put it on your TiVo in a different zip code with...

I think GS is kind of like the mafia, once in, you can't back out.

Didn't know you could run 51killer on standalones, but if I ever needed it I didn't know that I did.

Like I said, it'll be a...

So you definitely need an image that doesn't start out in GS?

You understand that means it'll start out complaining about being in a TiVo with a different TSN from the one of which it has a record...

I read too fast, see my edit of previous post.

Go over to TCF to the "need an image, don't PM me" thread, and search my name, that model number, dropbox, etc.

Oooops, just saw the not reset to GS part.

You'll have to give me a few days,...

Would it not be much easier to remove the bad tuner and put in one from the other box?

Another theory shot down in flames then.

Get the Seagate diagnostic software (SeaTools for DOS) and run the long test on the drive.

That's the same fat LBA number as the 40GB Maxtor that came out of my 540040

As long as it isn't a GigaByte brand motherboard, boot up with the MFS Live cd v1.4 and just that drive attached, then...

What's the LBA number of that Maxtor from the 24004A?
