RE: NOW Doh.. Killed Tivo WAS Tivo / Linux command

["Lee" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you say it get stuck, how? Does it just sit there?

If so, you prob. haven't adjusted the master/slave jumper on the drive,
IIR=
C
the Tivo drive is set to cable select, if you have another drive on the
cable set to master, it'll get lost in the detect...

HOWEVER, DO NOT JUST BOOT YOUR PC WITH THE TIVO DRIVE CONNECTED !!!!!

If you're running Win2k/XP and it boots, it'll find your Tivo drive and
"fix" the partition table to Microsoft's spec, which will break
it - the
Tivo won't boot again. You need to boot with PC from a Tivo Boot CD like
MFSTools.

Sorry, if I'm pointing out the obvious, but better safe than sorry....

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.
