• Disconnect power to the TiVo. • Disconnect and remove your eSATA drive. • Reconnect the power to your TiVo. • The TiVo will display a message stating that your eSATA drive was disconnected. It will ask you to reconnect the drive, or press CLEAR to remove it. You press CLEAR, then THUMBS DOWN three times and ENTER to confirm. The TiVo will reboot and the drive is removed. Screenshots: #1, #2, #3. After you’ve removed the eSATA drive and rebooted the TiVo as indicated above, follow the instructions in #6 to add the new eSATA drive. Note when you remove an eSATA drive, you will lose all recordings made since the drive was added.
