Finaly got aroung to upgradign my beloved tivo with some more drive space .. using a 750 gig 7200 baracuda pata drive. Instacake seemed to bake it just fine .. Installed drive ... c&de ( took almost 3 hours ) .. guide setup .. connect .. download .. system update .. restart .. c&de once more .. numerious forced connections .. numerious reboots .. clear guide data .. reboot .. download ..( ect ) and for some reason it will complain about guide data has run out. can someone perhaps point me at the button to fix this .. preferable before I throw the old 40g back in and just forget this idea. Not a newbie to computers at all. So even a comment like 'edit the params dd uses to write the inital image' would work for me. Kinda frustrating. Ive had the pile of drive and cd on my desk now for a while but FINALY got a chance to do the upgrade .. and now my tvio is not so happy Any ideas ??

I recently moved and as last time the hdd now won't work. Can I use the original InstantCake to make another hdd?

Everything went well. I can see my dvr's ip address. I can ping, telnet ahven't tried ftp. I can't access it with tivowebplus. I did for a couple of minutes than it went down and i can't access it anymore. I went into my router config page and it's there. I'm newbie and don't have a clue what happened.

I was given a tivo series 2 today that was picked up from a pawn shop. The model number is tcd649080. When I plugged it in it was stuck on the welcome screen. I immediatly thought bad hard drive and then when I opened it up, it had NO hard drive. I am guessing whoever pawned it took it out before the sale or I guess it could have a bad motherboard after reading some things online but it sounded more like the hard drive... I bought and downloaded the following file. > > instantcake-tcd649-1.1-std.iso.zip > I did a sucessful bake on a USED NON NEW 80 gig drive I had using the one drive option. Now when I put it in my tivo it is still stuck on the welcome powering up screen. I've read I should set the jumpers on the new drive to the same as the drive you are removing. Since I didn't have the original drive that was in it, I didn't know what it was set as. So i've tried cable select and master on this drive and it's still not working. Any tips. I really didn't want to buy a NEW drive...

Please do to interrupt this process, it may take awhile.." is this normal. It's been stuck at this screen for over an hour and I don't know if i should restart. Any thoughts?

I am upgrading the hd for a toshiba SD-H400(series 2). Instacake freezes up. The last line I get is Kernel Panic: attempted to kill init! Has anyone seen this before? Another thing I noticed a date as it was running 9/2/2005....Did I get an old version?
