Sounds like the master boot record is missing from the drive. Check with the OS documentation for the OS that is running on it.

If it's DOS, then put the drive in an old PC, boot with a DOS disk, and do a "fdisk /mbr" to put the boot record on it.

Another check is to run FDISK and see if the partition is marked as "active"

The drives use Linux as the operating system. If you have one of these drives on your pc and you boot to windows ,it will tag the hard drive and it will not work back in the machine. I use MFS tools to do the drives. I'm sure you can find something easier,but I got use to it putting larger drives in our Tivos

...I got use to it putting larger drives in our Tivos

Me too!  We just recently got a new Tivo HD.  I was able to buy the WD My DVR External Sata drive to add more space - it was so nice just plugging it in and not having to find my boot disks to "Bless" any drives.  I think I had upgraded 5 Tivos before that for myself and friends/family.  The TivoHD is about the only thing I wouldn't give up before my slot machines...

The old Megatouch I have here uses DOS.
