Add HD to already 'upgraded' unit

[coppertop808]

Havn't been able to answer this by searching/reading for the past two hours on DVRupgrade and Tivocommunity, so here it is...

I have a DSR 704 that I upgraded with an 80GB drive and 'fixed' with PTV InstantCake to add networking, HMO, etc... I have another 80GB drive I want to install to add capacity (2 x 80GB drives). The question is.. how do I go about doing this?

Do I need basically start all over with two drives installed in a PC and 're-bake my cake' OR can I setup the second drive and add/install it in my Tivo without affecting the currently installed drive?

If I do have to 're-bake' boths drives together, will that affect what is already on the drive, recordings, settings, season passes, etc???

Thanks for any guidance on my ignorance... :o

Thanks for any guidance on my ignorance... :oYou want to go to MFSlive.org download MFSlive-1.3b.iso burn it to a CD. Boot from CD your old tivo master HDC new tivo slave hdd. execute mfsadd -x -r 4 /dev/hdc /dev/hdd (space in front of /dev/hdc and one space in front of /dev/hdd) You might want to purchase a twinbreeze dual drive bracket from www.weaknees.com and a smartstart from DVRupgrade that will lower the load on spinup. Good Luck.:)
