DTivo upgrade without runing Tivomad

Posted by: Aaron Campagnon

Thnnks to the great instructions from Hinsdale, I was able to get an 80 gig drive up and runing in my Dtivo. the problem I am having is that after everything was said and done it only shows 35 hours in the system info menu. I am fairly sure I had run the tivomad script after copying the backup and placing in the DTivo, but I cant be 100% certain. In any case the 80 gig drive is running fine with only 35 hours showing. Can I run the TivoMad process now, or do I have to go back and restore to the backup? This would be bad since it was an old backup with 2.0 software and I dont want to go through all the hassle etc of pulling teh 2.5.x software back down...also the wife my shoot me if we loose all of her "Baby stories" and season passes again! :)
Any help or ideas are welcome
Thanks

You need to use DTivoMad, not the regular one.

Ok, thanks :)

Will that corrupt what is already there? Will I have to rerun setup etc, or will it act just like adding a second blessed drive (ie new time will magicly appear)?
