Dual tuner tivo upgrade

I have been a Tivo fan for a while so I was excited today to see the UPS man left my new dual tuner Tivo. First thing I have to upgrade it 80 hours will not do. I got a 300 gig HD from Compusa for $57.00 after $10.00 mail in rebate. I got the Tivo from Amazon.com for $45.00 after a $20.00 coupon I had and a $150 mail in rebate from Tivo. Now on to the upgrade, I have documented the very easy process with pictures and instructions after the jump.

Step one: Make sure you have basic computer knowledge (setting jumpers on IDE Hard drives, not being afraid to take electronics apart)

Step two: Download Instant Cake from http://www.ptvupgrade.com< make sure you download the correct version for the Tivo you have. Your model number is listed on the back of your Tivo. Note: you can hunt around http://dealdatabase.com/forum/for some hacked together ISO. I just find it much easier to drop the $20 for Instant Cake<

Step Three: Burn the ISO you downloaded with your favorite cd burning software.

Step Four: Shutdown your computer and install you new HD as the secondary IDE master make sure your CDROM is setup as primary IDE slave and your bios is set to boot off of the cdrom drive.

Step Five: Boot your computer with the CD burned in step three answer the few questions you are presented and let Instant Cake do its magic.

Step Six: Shutdown your computer and remove the HD and hook everything back up.

Step Seven: Install the new HD into your Tivo

Step Eight: Power your Tivo back up and do a clear and delete everything

You are done enjoy your increased recording capacity!
