I see that many people here have been sucessful in upgrading the model 1000. I am trying to do the same. I am having no success.

I am replacing the original worn out 80 gig drive with a 160 gig. I have used Knoppix to write the "snap1000.bin" file to the drive (I think copy worked OK) but the unit will not boot.

When I used the "dd" command in Knoppix, it wrote the 25 meg file to the new drive in about 5 to 6 seconds. That seems way too fast for that much data. I suspect that something is not right. Does anybody have any ideas?

The command i used was;

dd if=/mnt/hdb1/snap1000.bin of=/dev/hdc

Where hdb1 contained the "snap1000.bin" file and hdc was the 160 gig drive that I was trying to write to.

Does the new drive need to be partitioned or formatted before using the "dd" command?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
