I would suggest replacing the monte installed by TiVoScripts with killhdinitrd. Follow the procedure here: http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/sh...iso#post196162

(Don't forget to use the proper kernel for your software; if you used Haderak's guide you probably have 4.x software).

Once you've done that, you can use MFS Tools to pipeline the backup to the restore and transfer the contents of the original drive to a new drive. Read Hinsdale's how to for full instructions, the command is:

mfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hdc | mfsrestore -s 127 -xzpi - /dev/hdd (Original drive as secondary master, new drive as secondary slave).
