Wanted: TiVO Drive Clone Service - Will Pay

Postby moonchalk » Thu Feb 27, 2020 11:13 am

Hi,

I want to get my TiVo Series 1 drive cloned as a backup.

It's getting on a bit and I'd hate to lose the use of it.

I'd have a go myself but I've no experience with Linux based disks.

It's a 1Tb Samsung and I'd like to get it cloned onto two other 1 Tb drives that I will provide. (These are SATA Drives but I was planning on using a simple SATA to IDE converter to put them back into the TiVo).

I will provide the drives.

Is there anyone out there who could do this ?

Please quote a price if interested.

I'd be happy to pay via Bank Transfer, Paypal, Bitcoin or any other Crypto.

Drop me a message on the email below if interested.

Thanks,

James

Is the Samsung an IDE or SATA?

Don't forget that only certain IDE-SATA converters will work with our TiVos. The converter needs a particular chip - Marvel 88SA8040 - to work. (Other adaptors may appear to work but TiVo doesn't boot.) This chip is found on the

Startech IDE2SAT
Lycom ST-106-2

Search on here for 'Marvel' or 'ide2sat' for more info.

Give me a shout if you don't get any offers

Yes the existing Samsung is a direct IDE.

Thanks for the great advice on converters, I didn't know that and may have given up on this if I'd tried one that didn't subsequently work.

I'd be prepared to pay £50 for someone to backup clone my TiVo drive twice.

I supply all the drives and I pay all the postage costs.

Any takers ?

I can image new drives but I do not have the software or expertise to clone yours sorry.
