Add a Second Hard Drive to Your TiVo

Tired of having to erase old shows from your TiVo's puny hard drive? Hack your Tivo by slapping on a massive external drive.

Zack Stern, PC World

Connect the External Drive 6 of 7

With everything powered off, connect the external drive; afterward, turn on the TiVo and the drive. The TiVo should boot to its home screen after about 5 minutes. You'll have to keep the external drive powered up and connected from this point forward--if you remove it, you'll lose any new recordings made since the upgrade, just as you would with an official TiVo upgrade.
