Upgrade Hard drive in tivo (will I lose software?)?
-
I just bought a tivo dvr40 (rca) from amazon.com and have it activated and its ready to go but I want to know if I replace the 40gig hard drive with an old hard drive from another dvr will I also lose the software on the tivo? Or is that installed somewhere else on the tivo. It is a direcTIVO. Thanks.

Answer:
The software is on the HDD. You can copy it to another drive with MFStools or Winmfs. You can also purchase instantcake (software image plus a custom version of mfstools with an automation script).
