Re: Help! Tivo 40gb hard disk reuse in Windows PC

["Tom Dubourg" <thomas.dubourg@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks guys for the fast response!

Used Qunlock and it did not work in the first instance. Check the HD
jumpers and it was in the "cable select" position. I replaced the
jumper to "master" and the HD is now born as 40GB

Problem solved

Cheers

Tom
