Drive location Confusion
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: indianajns

I am almost there!! I can feel it... MY HD busted... I downloaded a backup from an FTP site and am ready with my new drive. The problem I am having is with where to place it in my PC and how to adjust the utility command line. My Primary Master is the DVD drive and my Secondary master is the HD where I have the backup and my FAT parition (XP machine). I am going to hook my New TIVO drive to either the Primary Slave or Secondary Slave. Per Hinsdale I need to adjust my utility script command functions to accomodate.

When I restore the command line would look like this...

mfsrestore -s 127 -xzpi /mnt/dos/tivo.bak /dev/hdb (primary slave) or hdd (secondary slave).

The changes in this line seem to accomodate for having different TIVO drive locations; however, does it accomodate for the fact that the Primary master is not where my C: drive/FAT partition is located??

Thank you in advance for your time...[

You have to mount the relevent partition on secondary master. The line you need to change is not (only) the MFS Tools lines, but also the mount command where you need to mount /dev/hdc5 instead of /dev/hda1.

We have told you this once already...
