I got a 250GB HD and installed instantcake-tcd540-1[1].1-std,placed into my tivo tcd540040. and now it is stuck on the "Welcome...powering up" screen. can anyone help me??
I'm guilty of skipping this step this myself - did you plug the IDE and power cables into the drive? Did the IDE cable come loose from the motherboard?

HR10-250, Samsung SIR-S4120R, SIR-S4080R, 2 Philips DSR704s (one connected to a Slingbox A/V). One box used the "Zipper"; rest used PTVnet to enable networking features.
I just found the problem. I took the jumper off of the HD and it worked.
Thank you.
I have an HR10-250 that had a corrupted disk. I just downloaded the latest (3.1.5f Special Edition) InstantCake, which installed flawlessly, but in the Tivo, it is stuck at "Welcome ..." After a couple of minutes the red record light went on for a few minutes, then off - haven't seen it since. About every minute or so, I can hear the drive heads moving, so I know the drive is at least connected.
Any ideas on how to get this puppy going?
Here's an update that might be useful to know: After 2 hours of the white welcome screen, it moved to a TIVO logo screen (with DVRupgrade copyright) saying "... wait while Tivo reboots one more time...". This screen stayed up for 90 minutes and then I got the (beautiful to behold) DIRECTV logo acquiring satellite information. I am holding my breath in hopeful anticipation.
I followed guide notes that suggested leaving the Master jumper on the replacement drive. I noticed that the original drive was set to cable select (CS) and installed the drive. Nothing other than "Welcome ....powering up." So after 20 minutes, I disconnected the tivo and pulled the jumper off of Master and set to the CS. Reconnected the Tivo, started up like a champ. Hearing the drive kick in was sweet :-).
I had to do the same thing with mine. Left the jumper off during the Instant Cake part (which makes the drive a Master) and then put the jumper on to the drive in the Cable Select position when putting it back in my TIVO. Seems to work ok.
