Help... I'm upgrading my Tivo (Linux) by adding a second IDE hard drive but I have to make a backup of my drive first. Here's my problem: I have a new 40GB IDE disk set initially as a "master". Using a Win98 startup floppy, I ran "fdisk" and created a single primary partition. I then formatted the C: drive using "format". I switched the jumper on the new drive to "slave", and added my original Tivo drive as "master" and rebooted using a special Linux boot floppy (TivoMad in case you're interested.) Here I have to mount the slave drive so I can backup the original drive as a "file" on the new ide disk. When I type: "mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/dos", it gives me a "FAT bread" error. What do I need to do to get this to work? BTW -- I want to be able to use the ide disk in my Windows box after doing this backup so I can't use ext2. Thanks, Robert Tivo Upgrade: http://www.newreleasesvideo.com/hinsdale-how-to/
