Can I upgrade a two drive TiVo with the TiVoMad utility?

Maybe. If you have a backup of a single drive TiVo you can restore that backup to the new larger drive and then remove both drives. If you wish you could also wipe one of the original drives clean and then use BlessTiVo to marry one of the old drives to your new larger primary drive. This process will revert your TiVo to the same state it was in at the time of backup. All of your recorded shows will revert to what ever was on the backup and your TiVo software will be the version on your backup. If you have a TiVo that came with 2 drives and you do not have a backup of a single drive TiVo then you can not at this time expand your TiVo.
