Can I ask a (probably) stupid question?  Do you have to do anything
special to get the PC to recognise Tivo disks?

I want to try skipping the modem check on my still broken Tivo, but when
I put the disk into the PC it gets stuck in the BIOS disk detect phase.

Since this is the same PC I did all the upgrading on I'm confused as to
why it recognised the disks before but won't even boot with one attached
now.

A search on the Tivo boards hasn't brought up any explanations.
