Hard Drive Failed on my T60

One of my 2 Sony T60 DirecTivos' had a hard drive failure (Constant re-booting). Can I create an image from my working T60 hard drive and restore it to a new hard drive for the failed unit? I have downloaded the MFS 2.0 tools and are comfortable working on the internals of computers. Both T60s' have Maxtor 40GB hard drives and 3.1.0 software. I will probably go with a 80GB replacement drive.

Thanks for your help.
Bill

Yeah, that's no problem. You just have to do a 'Clear and Delete Everything' reset on the restored drive to initialize the encryption (because the encryption is tied to the serial number of the DTiVo).
