Thanks Wibble, that site looks better. Somehow following the previous site I ended up with a .exe file of a much older version of the software anyway (3.2.0).

However, starting up a PC with a CDRom with the 4.1.1 version of the .iso file copied to it and just the TiVo hard disk in the PC produced the following:

"Managed PC Boot Agent (MBA) v3.10
Copyright, etc, etc

Node: 00500462EF12
DHCP . . .
TFTP . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Error:

Network boot aborted.
Press any key to continue

(which I did)

Operating System not found"

So does that mean I should have my standard C: PC disk in place and put the TiVo into the D: drive space instead and then boot with the CDROM loaded?

Sorry that it must seem like pulling teeth to get me to do the right thing but I did warn at the outset that I'm highly non-technical. Perhaps I should also have added "apt to chose the wrong option at every opportunity".
