No, sorry, the original 60 GB is bad. I've got an extra 120 lying around, so I'm going to use that along with the 120 I installed a couple of years ago.

So you'll now have around 295 hours of recording time. That's obscene!

HD Tivo. Original is 250G and I added the 300G from Weakknees. I never miss a show, even in HD...

IT WORKS! Wuaaah! IT WORKS! <dances around a la Doc Brown>
dd_rhelp is a marvelous program. If someone needs help recovering a hard drive, I highly recommend it. My procedure was decidely non-standard (I think) but it worked just fine. I'll give details if anyone is interested.

dd_rhelp is a shell script that calls dd_rescue. dd_rescue does a block level copy, and basically doesn't take no for an answer; if it can't read something, it writes 0s instead. dd_rhelp sets it up so that if it encounters a bad block, it moves that block to the end of the process, and skips to the next good block. When I tried to run dd_rescue yesterday, it got caught at 7 GB of data, and pretty much tanked overnight. I think it wrote about a gig of 0s before I stopped it. dd_rhelp actually managed to get the whole drive with no errors (!) I have no idea how.
Oh yeah, it's also GPL (ie, free)
