SATT60 Died...Need Image Maybe?

Hi all,
First post. so please be gentle. :) My stock T60 DirecTivo died yesterday just as I was getting back from a weekend out of town. I believe it to be the hard drive, as it is very quiet. I can hear the power supply if I am right up against the unit, but the comforting sound of the drive humming isn't there. I called Sony, and my labor warranty is up, so I decided to try to replace the drive myself with a larger one. Are there any places where I can find images for the T60? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
AlxRogan

Update: I got 3 backup images for a SATT60, got the drive out, turns out the power plug in the drive wasn't seated correctly, so I was able to get it to spin up again, but it started rebooting during the Welcome screen and looping over and over. I used Hinsdale's wonderful HOWTO and Tiger's MFS 2.0 tools to try to restore each of those 3 backup images, as well as clone my existing Maxtor 40GB drive.

All of those resulted in the same problem with TiVo rebooting itself about every 40 seconds or so. Sometimes I would get into the Almost There screen, but it would still reboot itself.

Are there any ideas out there about what it could be? This unit was sent back for service the day after I purchased it from American Satellite last summer for the same problem. Sony replaced the hard drive and motherboard and it worked after that. I'm hoping it's not a motherboard problem again. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alx
