</span><![endif]>These instructions</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is recommended you print these instructions out
first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Also, these instructions are
only intended for those who have never upgraded their TiVo or have upgraded it
at most one time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Due to MFS
restrictions, many of these instructions will not work if you wish to save your
recordings and have already upgraded more than once.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Finally, if at any point your screen blanks out during a long
command, this is a screen saver, and you can restore the screen by pressing the
<shift> key.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>1) The TiVo</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you already have a TiVo, it can be upgraded following
these instructions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If you do not have
a TiVo, you can get either a standalone recorder (which can record directly
from cable or antenna, or by controlling a box for cable or DBS satellite) or a
DirecTiVo recorder (Which works with DirecTV only).<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>All TiVos can be upgraded following the same instructions, with
only a slight difference if it has two drives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>It is best to use your TiVo a little before upgrading to make sure all
the hardware works fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In most cases,
you do not have to worry about losing recordings, preferences, season passes,
wishlists, or thumb settings.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>2) Picking the Drive</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>To store videos TiVo uses IDE hard drives, similar to what
PCs use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Almost all large IDE hard
drives will work fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>5400 RPM drives
are likely to be the best, as they generate less heat, noise and vibration, and
they are cheaper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However, a 7200 RPM
drive will work just as well in most cases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Any size IDE drive can be used, however any drive larger than 137gb will
be used by TiVo as a 137gb drive, and you can use up to two drives.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Once you purchase a drive, you can run long
manufacturer diagnostics on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This
process can take anywhere from several hours to overnight.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However, better than 98% of modern drives
are error free, and a drive that passes the tests could still fail in your
TiVo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Therefore, your best bet is to
keep a backup of your TiVo drive.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You do not need to format your drive an any way, or to zero
out any existing partitions or data on previously used hard drives, as the
upgrade utilities will take care of this for you.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>3) Acquire Torx screwdriver or bit – size 10 (And maybe size 15), hard
drive bracket, and other hardware</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You can find Torx bits/driver at your local WalMart, Home
Depot or other hardware store.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Size 10
will be required, however, only a few models require a size 15 Torx, but it is
fairly random so it is safest to get both.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>If you are adding a drive to a single drive standalone unit, you may
also wish to order a hard drive bracket to hold your new B drive from <a
href="http://www.9thtee.com/">9th Tee (http://www.9thtee.com)</a> (You can
order the Torx drivers from them also) although it is possible to use plastic
ties, rubber feet, duct tape, or other riggings to secure the new drive in
place with some success.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>All DirecTiVos
and Series 2 TiVos drives are not held in by individual brackets but are
screwed directly to a metal frame.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Hughes DirecTiVos, and the Series 2 standalone and
AT&T standalone TiVos will require the purchase of a hard drive power cable
“Y” adapter (Available at Radio Shack and most computer stores) and an 80 wire
ATA 66/100 IDE cable with master and slave connectors.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>4) Download Latest Upgrade Utilities</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you have a CD accompanying these directions, you can use
that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If you wish to make sure there
are no more recent utilities released, you may check <a
href="http://www.tyger.org/MFS">http://www.tyger.org/MFS</a> for any new
releases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If you can not boot off your
CD-ROM drive, you can use the floppy disk image included on the CD or download
the latest floppy disk image and use that.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you wish to use a new CD image, or you do not have a CD
accompanying these directions and wish to use the CD, you should download the
latest CD image from the MFS Tools download page.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>You will need a CD-R or CD-RW drive (Or a friend with a CD-R or
CD-RW drive) to create a CD.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Use your
CD burning software to burn an ISO image (Not a file) using Data Mode 1, Block
size 2048.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You may need to adjust your
PCs BIOS boot options to ‘Boot from CD’ if not configured.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Boot CD will generally automatically unlock any TiVo
locked Quantum drives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However, if your
TiVo comes with a Maxtor drive or you are using a new Quantum or Maxtor drive
in your planned upgrade, then you may require another utility to unlock this
drive if it is ever placed in the TiVo for testing/use and then removed later
for further upgrading steps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If you run
into a locked drive (total size reports as 9-10 MB) during this upgrade process
then use the qunlock utility to unlock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>You will need to create a DOS boot disk to run this utility from, and
you will need to run it every time you take your drive out of your TiVo.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you do not have a CD-R or CD-RW drive, you will need to
create a bootable floppy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Follow the
instructions in the \floppy directory of the CD, or the README that comes with
the downloaded floppy disk image to create a floppy disk image.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you are using GoBack, you will want to disable it, as it
can cause corruption of files created while in a Linux boot environment.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>5) Remove drive(s) from TiVo</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Running guided setup prior to starting your upgrade will
reduce potential backup problems, significantly reduce backup file size, and
will verify you have a working unit prior to upgrade.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>If it is a new TiVo and you have subscribed to the TiVo service,
you may also want to wait a day (Or manually force 1-2 call-ins) until the unit
has upgraded to the most current software.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Furthermore, it may be beneficial to play with your TiVo awhile prior to
backup up/upgrading so as to have a more complete current backup image (Season
passes, guided setup, etc).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In the past
the only way to get a small backup was to get a “virgin” or unused backup.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>That is no longer necessary.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Remember, upgrading your TiVo will void your
warranty, so you may want to wait out the initial 90-day parts and labor
warranty.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When you are ready to upgrade, start by disconnecting all cables
and waiting a minute for the drives to stop spinning.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Remove the 3-4 Torx screws from the back.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The top cover should slide backwards
approximately one inch, then can be lifted off.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>However, some covers are on tight.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>If you have trouble getting the cover off, one method is to stick
your TiVo on a non-slip surface (Carpet, couch, table, floor), place one hand
on either side of the top, and leaning into your TiVo, push back.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This should slide the cover back.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText>MOST IMPORTANT REMEMBER NOT TO TOUCH THE POWER SUPPLY –
EVEN UNPLUGGED IT CAN GIVE A DANGEROUS SHOCK OR DAMAGE HARDWARE.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Once the cover is off, disconnect the IDE and power
connectors from your TiVo hard drive(s).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>If you have a standalone series 1 TiVo, you will need to unscrew the two
screws from the bracket, lift the bracket out, then unscrew the four screws
holding the drive to the bracket.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you have a DirecTiVo or a Series 2 TiVo, you will need to
remove the entire support bracket holding the TiVo drive(s).<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>First temporarily unplug the fan connector
and unscrew the two screws (Torx 10 or 15), often with blue grommets, to the
right (if facing the unit from the rear) of the drives.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You may be able to slide the drive bracket
out at this point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However, some
SAT-T60 units may need to remove a third screw, often with blue grommet, on the
reverse side of a metal divider behind the power supply (be VERY careful not to
touch the power supply as it may damage your hardware or cause dangerous shock)
– this screw can be difficult and may require a swiveling or right angle torx
bit or perhaps a vice grip or pliers – others have had success covering the
capacitors with folded paper and using the regular torx driver.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If you are unsure as to how to remove the drive
bracket then see the TiVo Community Underground Forum for assistance.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Once you have the bracket removed, you can
remove the four screws holding the drive(s) to the bracket and take the
drive(s) out.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you are removing two drives, make sure to label which is
the A drive and which is the B drive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Configurations vary, however, the A drive is often connected at the end
of the IDE cable with the B drive connected in the middle.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If they are already labeled with colored
stickers, you should rely on the labels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>You may also be able to determine which is the A drive by examining the
jumper settings; A drive is jumpered as Master or Cable Select while the B
drive is Slave or having no jumpers.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>6) Placing Drives Into Your PC</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You will need to locate/understand where your primary and
secondary IDE cables are in your computer in order to connect your drives
properly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Configurations vary but in
most circumstances, the middle connector on each IDE cable is used as slave and
the end connector on each cable is master.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Your primary Windows boot “C:” drive is usually connected to your
primary master IDE connector if that is helpful for reference in determining
which is your Primary and which is your Secondary IDE cable.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For general ease of instruction and to minimize jumper
changes and drive swaps, I have selected particular IDE hard drive connections
to use for the following upgrade steps leaving the secondary slave port
available for a CD-ROM/CD-RW drive, wherever possible.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However, your TiVo drives and CD-ROM/CD-RW
can be connected to any IDE port you wish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Just make sure to adjust the drive jumpers and all the command options
to follow in accordance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If you plan to
backup your drive (Recommended) then your DOS/Windows fat32 C: drive or
partition should be left as primary master.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Here is a table of the Linux IDE drive designations so that you can make
changes to the utility commands if you are using a different drive
configuration than I have outlined:</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>hda – Primary Master (DOS/Windows fat32 C: drive or
partition)</p>

<h3>7) Backup your TiVo drive(s) with MFS Tools</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is very highly recommended that you create a backup.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Should anything happen to your TiVo (Hard
drive failure, consuming software bug, etc) your backup is your first line of
recovery, since you do not have a warranty anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Using MFS Tools backup, you can create a very small (Usually
100-500MB) very fast (A few minutes) backup file onto your Windows C: drive.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This small backup will contain your current
software version, channel lineup, guide data, season passes, thumbs,
preferences, etc for easy restore in case of future problems.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>MFS Tools backup does not write to your
source drives at all, so your data/recordings should be safe.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Assuming your regular DOS/Windows C: drive is connected as
Primary Master with at least 1.5 gigabytes (To be safe – it could work with as
little as 150 megabytes) free, place your boot CD or floppy into the
appropriate drive and power down your PC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>Jumper your existing TiVo A drive to master (See drive diagram or

your C: drive will be significantly smaller. When finished you will have a
small backup file (tivo.bak in your C: drive root directory) containing a
usable single drive image that can now be restored to any size drive - although
the drive must be at least as large as the original A drive image. You are now
ready to restore this image for testing.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Assuming you have just finished backup up your drive(s) you

power supply)</b> and reconnect the IDE connector (red/black stripe closest to
power connector) and power cable that you had previously disconnected from your
TiVo drive. Then plug in your TiVo and wait for it to boot up. If it sticks on
the Powering Up screen, first verify that the IDE and power cables are
connected fully and your drive is jumpered properly (this is by far the most
common error and can be tricky sometimes as the drive diagram often needs to be
read upside down, check the manufacturer website for more detailed diagrams).
Another reason you will stick at Powering Up is if you are using a non-Quantum

<p class=MsoNormal>If you are impatient and do not wish to spend the time
copying your recordings to your new drive, or if you have upgraded your drive

<h3>11) Remove Drive(s) from PC and Place Back into TiVo</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now that your backup is done you need to shutdown your PC
and remove the drives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>While holding
the control (CTRL) and alt (ALT) keys, press the delete (DEL) key on your
keyboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Once you see your BIOS spash
screen again, switch the power off and wait a minute for the drives to stop
spinning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Disconnect your TiVo drives from
your PC, making sure to keep track (label) which is going to be your new TiVo A
drive, and which will be the B drive (If using a B drive).</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You should now make sure the jumper settings are configured
correctly - with your TiVo A drive jumpered to Master and your new B drive
jumpered to Slave (see diagrams on drives or drive documentation). You will
then attach the new TiVo drive(s) to their supplied bracket(s) and bring your
new drive(s) to your open TiVo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Remember to steer clear of the power supply</b>.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You may need to carefully use a small knife
or clippers to remove the plastic tie securing the second drive power
connector. Then slip the slave IDE cable from underneath the other plastic clip
holding it to the base of the TiVo. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Place your drive(s) into the TiVo drive bays, returning the
A drive to it's original location (if applicable). Connect your A drive to the
master IDE connector (end of the IDE cable) making sure that the red/black edge
stripe on the IDE cable is closest to the power connector and the power cord is
connected properly. The new large upgrade B drive will be in the empty bay next
to the A drive and connect it to the slave IDE connector (middle of the IDE
cable) and second power cable (Hughes and Series 2 units should see step 3 if
not an available power or IDE connector). Even when simply adding a upgrade B drive
(jumpered to slave), make sure that the original A drive is jumpered to Master
(will usually come factory cable-select). Reattach the fan if necessary and
plug in your TiVo. After it boots you should go to the system information menu
and verify your new expanded hours. If it sticks on the Powering Up screen,
first verify that the IDE and power cables are connected fully and your drive
is jumpered properly (this is by far the most common error and can be tricky
sometimes as the drive diagram often needs to be read upside down, check the
manufacturer website for more detailed diagrams). Another reason you will stick
at Powering Up is if you are using a non-Quantum drive running v.2.0 or below
and have not made the necessary runideturbo=false adjustment (see the hack FAQ
or TiVo Community Underground Forum). If your TiVo screen goes black or shuts
down without rebooting after getting to the gray "Almost there.."
screen, try hitting the power button or TiVo button to exit standby mode.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Now is time for a quick celebration of your
new huge TiVo. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'>Also note for those
who chose not to copy their existing recordings; that although listed in now
showing, your recordings are not actually present on the drive and will not
play. These recorded program listings can simply be deleted (if running TiVo
software version 1.3 or earlier these program listings may not be able to be
deleted and will require a factory reset or software upgrade).</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Finally, after verifying everything is functioning, you can
power down your TiVo and secure your hard drive(s) and bracket(s). Standalones
should secure their new large upgrade B drive so that it doesn't move around
(use the <a href="http://www.9thtee.com/TiVomtgbracket.htm"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>9th Tee</span></a>
bracket or other options as described in step 3 if you do not have an existing
B drive bracket). DirecTiVo upgraders can simply screw their drive(s) onto the
bracket and secure the bracket back in place (single drive units may require
additional screws for a new B drive). Finally screw the cover back on your TiVo
and start enjoying it. It is also a good idea to burn a copy of the small
backup file tivo.bak left on your C: drive to a CD-R as added protection in
case your C drive were to ever crash.<b> </b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Footnote:</p>
<p class=MsoNormal> </p>
<h3>I have Windows NT/2000/XP:</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal><b> </b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Do not boot into Windows NT/2000/XP with your original TiVo
drives attached as a signature can be attached to the drive that will create
problems. You will need to have/create a primary or extended fat32 partition on
your primary boot drive connected as primary master and know the partition
table (run fdisk -l to display partitions). Then you can follow these upgrade
instructions replacing (if applicable) the /dev/hda1 with the appropriate fat32
partition designation (example /dev/hda5 if first extended partition, /dev/hda6
if second extended partition, etc). Programs like Partition Magic or the free
trial of <a href="http://www.ng.com/">Bootit</a> should allow for simple
creation of the necessary fat32 partition. However, the easiest method is to
simply use/purchase a small 1-2GB (or even smaller) hard drive and format it as
fat32.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you need to have/create a DOS boot disk in order to run
the qunlock.exe program to unlock your original TiVo A drive, you can download
a DOS boot disk at <a href="http://www.bootdisk.com/">Bootdisk.com</a>.
Depending upon your version of Win2000/NT/XP, you may be able to create a DOS
boot disk: Place a blank floppy disk in the drive A. Select File, choose Run
from Program Manager's menu, type c:\dos\command.com, then choose OK. This will
start a virtual ms-dos machine (VDM). The copy of command.com in the ms-dos
directory must be used. From the ms-dos directory (c:\dos), type FORMAT A: /S.
Use File Manager or VDM to copy command.com from the c:\dos directory to the
floppy disk. Also copy the qunlock.exe program (see step 4) to the floppy disk.
The floppy disk should now be able to boot as expected in order to run the
qunlock program.</p>
