CREATE THE ZIPPERED TIVO HARD DISC
- 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.
- 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).
- 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. - 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). - Enter a static IP address for your TiVo and the IP address of your router (or gateway).
- Power off the computer, and remove the TiVo hard disk.
