An example that is reported to work great is: We decided to upgrade the hard drive on our Tivo Series3, since the stock G drive only holds about 30 hours of HD video. If a "protected" file is modified or missing, this utility will restore it from a cached copy to ensure Windows work correctly. You can check the new capacity in system settings. You should absolutely key in a capital Y for yes. If your new drive is greater than 3TB in size the TiVo Roamio's auto format facility will unfortunately only format the drive to a maximum size of 3TB.

I used WinMFS betaf. I used an enclosure to attach the drive directly to the mobo http: But when I put the drive in the Tivo taking the original outit just reboots over and over again. The TiVo should boot directly into guided setup.
If your software version is older you may be in luck but I do not have the data points to confirm one way or the other at present. Secondly if you use cable cards with your Tivo you may need to re-pair these depending on how aggressive your cable operator is with authentication [ rarely required ].
It 'may' then go into Standby mode with a blank screen. For these you need a Tamper Resistant Torx T screwdriver. To access the full capacity of the new drive it is necessary to either reformat it requires access to a machine running Windows and supports up to 8TB drives or bless it Windows free method but limited to 4TB drives.
