So what am I doing wrong??

Hey all!

OK, Sony SAT-T60 GSOD blah, blah, blah... Turned out that my B drive is wasted...

So, off to Best Buy I go. I bought an 80 gig WD. Ive tried just about every SAT-T60 image I can get my hands on... All of them do the same thing. Whats the chance that my DTiVo is hosed?

I've been using the mfstool boot cd and restoring with the following....

mfstool restore -zi /blah,blah,balh we all know the rest.

They all eventually get to restore complete and I "reboot" and pull the drive.

At which point the TiVo will power up, show me the Welcome splash for few minutes then proceed to reboot.

What the hell am I doing wrong?

I have tried moving the jumpers on the drive.

Should an "A" drive from a DSR6000 boot in my SAT-T60? Cuz it doesnt... It gets to the "almost there" screen and reboots...

Thanks all!

Try removing, cleaning, and reinserting your Parlex cable.

And, yes, the DSR6000 image should boot the unit - but you won't be able to use your remote, and don't let it dial-in with that image.
