Hi and welcome
Apologies, I'm not quite sure what you are actually asking here, but I think you are ultimately wondering if the 140GB hard disk will work in your recently acquired TiVo if you reload it with the OzTiVo software as BigMal pointed out in your other thread here: http://forums.oztivo.net/showthread.php?t=1511
If that is correct then yes it will but it won't retain the current recordings if you reload the new software, nor will it plug into a different style of TiVo so you can watch the current recordings and you cannot plug it into a PC to extract the recordings either.
Also as you have found out, SATA is not compatible with TiVo and neither are the newer Seagate hard disks if you intend using two. More information on that can be found here: http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/vie...0_10_hard_driv
Also just a tip: Go into your forum account settings and please enter where you are from. I gather that it is NZ from you mentioning "Tradme" but future posts may not give any clues and there are differences between OZ and NZ setups that dictate what advice is given.
Other than that, have fun!
