Can I use the original Tivo A drive on a PC

I installed a new Tivo A drive and would like to put the original 20GB Tivo A to use on my PC. I used a Debug script to wipe the partition info and now it seems to think it's a 8MB drive. Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks Folks

It's locked. Run qunlock.exe on the drive (see Hinsdale) and you'll be able to see the full capacity.

There's no need to erase the partition table, FDISK would have seen the disk as unpartitioned anyway - TiVo doesn't use the DOS partition format.
