Size of Thompson disk image
I've just brought back a (broken - I suspect HDD) Thompson TiVo from the UK, and before I commit too much money to it (in case my suspicions are wrong) I wanted to check it worked ok - I have tried to put the Thompson image onto a 20 Gb and a 30Gb drive (which I had lying around) but both report "Restore failed: first target drive too small."
What minimum size disk do I need to restore the image? I have searched around for other solutions, and I can report that the drives aren't locked. Posts elsewhere in the forums state that the images are created on 9Gb drives - but the don't specifically mention the Thompson which I understand has a different maintainer....
By the way, the ozTivo menu system also does not report the restore failure as a failure (in fact it calls it a success!), and blinks back to the menu too fast to see what's going on. It finishing so fast made me pretty suspicious though....
Cheers,
Adrian
