CREATE THE ZIPPERED TIVO HARD DISC

  1. Making certain that your new hard disk is detected properly and your computer is set to boot from a CD, boot your computer from the Zipper CD. Hit ENTER at all of the PTVupgrade boot CD prompts until you are presented with a bash prompt.

  2. Mount your CD by entering mount /dev/hdX /cdrom, X being the location of your CD-ROM (primary master: a, primary slave: b, secondary master: c, secondary slave: d).

  3. Run the main script with sh /cdrom/zipper.sh (hit ENTER).

    The Zipper will ask for the first three digits of your TiVo service number, which can be found on the back of your TiVo.

  4. Enter the appropriate location for your TiVo hard disk (hda, hdb, etc.)

    The script will now begin the installation of the InstantCake image you provided (this may take a while).

  5. Enter a static IP address for your TiVo and the IP address of your router (or gateway).

  6. Power off the computer, and remove the TiVo hard disk.
