Hey there all . You know it's so strange i was just thinking a few hours ago how wonderful it was that my tivo had not crashed in a whole year and I finally had a nice little library of movies etc built up that i would hate to lose. i shouldn't have even thought about it! I think I must have jinxed myself...

It was working fine earlier, and then i went to watch something and I saw it was starting up and I thought that was odd.. so I came back to it half an hour later and it was still on that the start up screen so i unplugged it. And basically now every time i try to boot it is just gets stuck permanently on the "Your Tivo is starting up screen". I cannot access it via telnet or anything of course.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows something that can be done before I go ahead and reformat the drive. i will be so sad to lose eveything yet again!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you
