Categories: DVRupgrade Support Area
I downloaded the IC for my TCD540040 to upgrade the 40 hour to a 160GB WD hard drive. Using a Dell XPS T450 PIII machine with two IDE controllers I could not get the IC CD to boot from the Primary Slave position, No OS found.
Anyway, after fooling around, I found the IC CD would boot from the Secondary IDE on either Master or Slave CD drives. So, I removed the Master CD drive on the Secondary IDE and installed the new HD as the Master on the Secondary IDE. I removed the Primary IDE cable from the MB and booted to the IC CD in the Slave CD drive on the Secondary IDE. The only installed were"
IDE1 Drive 0 none PM (cable not connected)
IDE1 Drive 1 none PS (cable not connected)
IDE2 Drive 0 SM New 160Gb WD HD
IDE2 Drive 1 SS HP CD Writer (Booted with IC CD)
Instant Cake baked my cake and returned the following messages:
Starting Restore
1010 of 1010 MB 100% at 33% Compression
Adding Pair /dev/hdc14-/dev/hdc15
New Standalone Size: 174 Hours (134 more)
Your Cake has been successfully baked. Please shutdown your computer remove the drive and install it in your TiVo. Don't forget to clear and delete.
Does this look like a successful install?
Does IC support booting from the IDE2 Slave position with a one drive upgrade conected to the IDE2 Master?
Thanks, Pat
