How do I make a disk to disk backup with Dylans Boot Disk?
Dylan’s boot disk is a “Linux on a floppy” that one of the AVS members (Dlyan in case you didn’t guess!) put together. It has everything on it you need to make either a disk to disk copy of a TiVo A drive, or a disk to image copy. It also contains my BlessTiVo program which will be described in later sections. The process to do this is as follows. • Download Dylan’s disk at the following sites. http://www.geocities.com/tivohack, or http://www.idrive.com/tivohack • Extract the files from the archive. Get a blank formatted floppy ready and run the batch file from the archive. It will prompt you to insert a floppy in drive a, and it will create the boot disk for you. • Reboot the PC with the floppy diskette in the A drive. • Once the floppy has booted you will see a login prompt. Login as “root” (no quotes) and hit enter. • Type the following command to make your image. This assumes you have the drives connected to your PC as described in section above. “dd if=/dev/hdc of=/dev/hdd bs=1024
