Just like to say how impressed I am with the service.

Ordered an upgraded drive with Paypal and a couple of days later it turned up registered post.

Many thanks Tivoland 8)

We try to provide a prompt service for all orders and we really appreciate it when someone takes the time and makes the effort to comment.

Many Thanks for that!!

No probs healeydave credit where credit is due.

We all are quick enough to moan about a service but when you get good service I always like to let people know as well.

Wow and I get four times the thanks back :lol: think you might have a bit of a posting issue on the forum :lol:

Keep up the good work 8)

Just a quicky to say I fitted the drive last weekend into my mothers Tivo and its great. Pulled the two old drives out and fitted the new single one, seems to have made it a lot quieter.

Shes actually said it seems to have made Tivo quicker and improved the pic and sound quality 8)

For the record I suppose I could use the old drives in my PC ?? do I need to do anything with them apart from running Fdisk and formating them down. I seem to remember something about unlocking them first?

Yes, in order to unlock the old Quantum drives, you need to download the DiskUtil program from here.

A locked Quantum drive will appear to only be 9Mb (thats megabytes!) in size under the PC BIOS until you run this patch. Once you have run the command against the drive, you must power cycle the PC/Drive not just use a soft reboot.

Upon reboot, the full size of the drive (15Gb , 30Gb or 40Gb) should be shown in the PC's BIOS.

You can then use DOS fdisk or the Windows Disk Management Snapin tool to partition the drive and finally format the space.

No, not the ISO image, the one below it called DiskUtil.

You might need to refresh your browser as I made modifications to the webpage prior to posting the reply.
