need HDVR2 upgrade help

I just when through a hard drive upgrade on my HDVR2 SW version 3.1.0. I replaced the original 40 meg drive with a 60 meg drive (one for one swap). Used mfstool2 and all seemed to go well. I completed a backup and made a test run. I Tivo Booted up fine and all seemed to me well except the hard drive seemed to suffle a lot.

From there I run a complete copy/expand and again all seemed to go well with no errors. I did notice that it report "44 hours (4 more)" when the program stoped. I expected to get about 52 hours (17 more) since I increased the drive space by 50 percent.

I installed the drive into the Tivo. The Tivo Booted up and all seemed to be fine. I check the system report and it said I had 35 hours record time, I expected to see the 52 hours. Also the drive keep shuffling (a lot), like when I run scan disc or defrag on the PC. Then I went to play an old recording which was suppose to copy and that wouldn't work. It asked me if I wanted to delete the recording right off the bat. When I said no, then tivo said that it didn't record because of no signal??

So 3 problems:
1) drive shuffle
2) no increase in max record time as reported in system report
3). can't play old files that were suppose to copy over

Thanks for any help!
